Description
Intense orange flower heads cover compact, upright stems from early through late summer on Echinacea hybrida Sombrero Adobe Orange (Balsomador). Dark green foliage and sturdy branching keep the clump compact in sunny borders, prairie plantings, and patio containers.
Butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds visit the flowers, while the strong stems also suit fresh or dried arrangements. Plant in well-drained soil in full sun and water as needed while the clump establishes. Once established, it tolerates dry conditions. Removing spent stems encourages a longer flowering display.
