Notes
'Coral Reef' coneflower (Echinacea 'Coral Reef') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The double coral blooms have dark coral red centers and appear from early to late summer. They are fragrant and draw butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Nodding onion, Sedge, and Cytherea peony.
