Notes
'Coral Craze' coneflower (Echinacea 'Coral Craze') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and containers. 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 is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. The coral-pink blooms age to lavender-pink from early to late summer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Ironweed.
