Notes
'Pink Mist' coneflower (Echinacea 'Pink Mist') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage 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. Rose pink rays surround a copper-orange center cone from early to late summer. Deer tend to pass it by. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the fragrant blooms, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Nodding onion.
