Notes
'Color Coded The OG' coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Color Coded The OG') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and dry to moist soil of most types. Its purplish pink flowers have domed, spiny centers and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer. The blooms last a long time, so you can cut some for bouquets.
Pairs well with Standing Ovation little bluestem, Moonshine yarrow, and Blue-eyed grass.
