Notes

'Cheyenne Spirit' echinacea (Echinacea 'Cheyenne Spirit') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It grows from seed and brings coneflowers in orange, red, yellow, purple, and cream around large brown cones. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Plant it in groups so the colors play off one another.

Pairs well with Moonshine yarrow, Indian grass, and Sundrops.
