Notes
'Sombrero Hot Pink' coneflower (Echinacea 'Sombrero Hot Pink') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and cut flowers. 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. Pink petals surround an orange-red center from early to late summer, and the fragrant blooms draw butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It handles dry spells well.
Pairs well with Clustered bellflower, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Nodding onion.
