Orange Meadowbrite Coneflower: A New Color for Echinacea Lovers

Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) now has an orange sibling. Orange Meadowbrite keeps the same drooping petals and brownish central cone but swaps rosy purple for vibrant orange petals. Plants grow 2–3 ft. tall and wide with 3–4 in. flowers. Perfect for summer borders or cutting gardens. Needs full sun, good drainage, and regular summer water.

Introductory-year supply is limited; price is steep (~$13 for a 3-inch pot). Available only through:

  • Jackson & Perkins (800-292-4769)
  • Plant Delights Nursery (919-772-4794)
