Notes
'Sensation Pink' coneflower (Echinacea 'Sensation Pink') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It blooms from early to late summer and is fragrant. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
