Echinacea ‘Tiki Torch’

Echinacea ‘Tiki Torch’  Sun.  Grab your sunglasses!  This glowing orange coneflower outshines the rest of the ‘coneheads’.  It is the darkest orange coneflower yet with 4” to 5” wide blooms.  Standing at 36” tall, it blooms in July and August.  Hardy to Zone 3, it was one of five top-rated newer coneflowers in a field study conducted by Mt. Cuba Center in Delaware.  Add to these kudos that it is drought tolerant, fragrant, deer resistant and a butterfly magnet, and you have paradise.  Faddegon’s Nursery in Latham, NY is featuring these beauties for June.  To learn more about this premier nursery and for directions, visit their web site at http://www.faddegons.com/.
