Echinacea ‘Tomato Soup’
Stunning warm, tomato-red flowers to five inches wide. A real treat on plants three feet tall and nearly as wide covered with flowers till frost. Plants are well branched and show excellent vigour. A natural pairing with Echinacea ‘Mac ‘n’ Cheese’. Easy to grow in full sun with good drainage. Echinacea in coastal BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils for best overwintering.
