Sunseekers™ Salmon Coneflower

Bring soft, sunset hues to your landscape with the SunSeekers™ Salmon Coneflower (Echinacea 'Sunseeker Salmon'), a reblooming perennial loaded with luscious coral-salmon blooms from early summer into fall. Part of the colorful SunSeekers™ series, this compact Coneflower offers a continuous supply of fragrant, pollinator-magnet flowers with thick, horizontal petals and vibrant, raised central cones.

It's not only beautiful, it's well-behaved, reaching just 20 to 25 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, making it perfect for small-space gardens, containers, and front-of-border spots. Butterflies and bees love it, but deer usually pass it by.

SunSeekers™ Salmon grows in a tidy clump with a fibrous root system that anchors it well in most soil types. Slender, upright stems hold up large daisy-shaped blooms with elegance and strength, while the green, lance-shaped foliage forms a neat base mound that stays attractive all season. Blooms emerge in a glowing salmon-coral hue, often with subtle variations as they mature. The upright form never sprawls, and the strong flower stems make it a superb cut flower.
