Notes
'Rubinglow' coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Rubinglow') 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 soil of most types. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall, blooms from early to late summer, and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It also tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Blue eryngo, Globe thistle, Indian grass, and Nodding onion.
