Notes
'Piccolino' coneflower (Echinacea 'Piccolino') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, and pollinator 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. Fragrant double pink flowers open from early to late summer and attract butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
