Echinacea Kismet Intense Orange - Coneflower

Years of intense breeding and hybridizing have made Kismet Intense Orange an outstanding true orange coneflower. It just pops in the garden. Part of the Kismet series this plant boast outstanding large bold orange fade-resistant blooms in a compact size. These coneflowers are of smaller stature and work well in the middle to front of beds, in rock gardens and under smaller ornamental trees. The blooms are profuse and the color of orange is truly fantastic. They work hard from summer well into fall and are a reliable performer with minimal work each and every season.

You can't go wrong with echinacea. We carry a multitude of cultivars and colors for just that reason. They are easy to grow and reward the lazy gardener with months of full beautiful blooms that just keep coming. Pollinators are big fans of the native and nativar varieties flocking to the flowers through the summer and well into the fall. Echinacea comes in many varieties both short and tall. They can be used in a wide variety of garden applications including border gardens, container plantings and naturalization into a larger area. They make great cut flowers. The seeds feed finches and other birds through the cold months, while also maintaining a structural interest through the winter months. I could go on... let's just leave it at we love them and you should too!

General care for any tree or shrub is easy, but like any living thing will require your attention. Please educate yourself and follow these simple rules.

Echinacea Kismet Intense Orange - Coneflower

Coneflower, also known as echinacea, is a wonderful perennial native to the U.S. midwest and prairies. It does best in a light loamy soil, but will do well in any well-drained soil. Full sunlight and heat are best for full flowering, while they can tolerate some light shade, we recommend at least 6 hours of full sun each and every day. Once established they are very drought resistant making them a great plant for those looking for a low water/ low maintenance garden. As a perennial flower, if cared for correctly echinacea will return with new growth each year.
