Echinacea ‘Tangerine Dream’
‘Tangerine Dream’ has elegant four inch clear orange flowers with wide, overlapping petals. The rich colour holds better than most other coneflowers. The flowers also have a lovely honey scent. A great landscape plant due to its multiple, wide-branching strong stems. Great for cutting. Echinacea in coastal BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils for best overwintering.
