Echinacea - Cantaloupe
Warm Orange Coneflowers, Pollinator Favorite
Stunning pompom flowers in a mouth-watering cantaloupe color! A must-stop for all manner of bees and butterflies, this "Coneflower" first puts out individual, sturdy stems filled with lightly hairy linear leaves, forming a sturdy clump 2-3' high and 2' wide. The 3" flowers feature center rows of peony-like florets, surrounded by lighter apricot-hued petals. With a bit of deadheading, flowering lasts from early Summer thru mid-Fall. Individual flowers last a long time, giving pollinators a generous amount of time to feed on the nectar-rich flowers and making for excellent cut flowers! Provide fertile well-drained soil. Clean up in late Winter or leave spent flowers for the birds to collect seed. Deer resistant.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
