Notes
'The Fuchsia is Bright' coneflower (Echinacea 'The Fuchsia is Bright') 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, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Fuchsia pink flowers open from early to late summer and smell fragrant. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms, and the plant tolerates drought. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Indian grass, Autumn Frost hosta, and Lemon Queen sunflower.
