Echinacea Sunseekers ‘Watermelon’
Echinacea Sunseekers 'Watermelon' is a bold coneflower with semi-double flowers in bright pink and big orange-brown cones.
Echinacea Sunseekers ‘Watermelon’ is almost too delicious to describe. This hybrid coneflower brings mouth-watering appeal with its semi-double flowers in the most georgous shade of pink with big, bold fragrant orangy-brown cones. Part of the Sunseekers collection bred for exceptional vigour, masses of non-fading flowers and dense, compact growth of less than two feet tall and wide. Plant in full sun in average (not overly rich), well-drained soils. Avoid soils that are overly moist in winter. Great winter interest and seeds for over-wintering birds. Attracts bees and butterflies.
