Echinacea ‘Sweet Chili’
Echinacea 'Sweet Chili' has sizzling, red, double cones and reflexed, orange-red ray florets.
Echinacea ‘Sweet Chili’ has sizzling, red, double cones with reflexed orange-red ray florets that heat up the summer border. Upright, with lance-shaped leaves. From the Cone-fections Series which offers reliably hardy, very floriferous, stocky plants with strong sturdy stems. Wonderful planted en masse and superb as a cut flower. Echinacea in coastal BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils for best overwintering. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
