'Grapefruit' coneflower (Echinacea 'Grapefruit') 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. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms from early to late summer and brings in butterflies, bees, and birds. The flowers are fragrant, and the plant tolerates drought.
