Cheyenne Spirit Echinacea

The Cheyenne Spirit Coneflower is a herbaceous perennial plant, dying down to the roots in winter and bouncing back stronger than ever the next spring. It grow to around 2 feet tall, with sturdy, self-supporting flower stems, topped with large, showy blooms from mid-summer into the fall. The colors range from cream through gold to shades of orange, as well as different reds and light purple. Plant in groups to enjoy the color palette, and grow it anywhere, from flower borders to areas of rough grass. If you leave the seed cones for the winter they will bring seed-eating birds like goldfinches to your garden.

• Vibrant color range with golds, oranges, reds and purple
• Blooms continuously from mid-summer to fall
• Excellent perennial to brighten your shrub beds
• Easily grown, even in poor soil and rough grass
• Attracts goldfinches and seed-eating birds in winter

Full sun is best for the Cheyenne Spirit Coneflower, although some partial shade is fine in hot zones. It grows in all kinds of soils, from rich garden soil to poor rough soil, and urban soils, as long as they are well-drained. Once established it is very drought-resistant, and untouched by pests or deer. A once-a-year cut down of the flowering stems is all it takes to keep it growing in your garden for years.
