We've been really impressed with Echinacea 'Solar Flare' from Georgia's ItSaul Nursery. In mid-June (NC), this stunning coneflower hybrid gives rise to 3' tall, black-purple stems, topped with 5" wide, seemingly fluorescent tangerine-pink flowers. Echinacea 'Solar Flare' provides a stunning contrast on a vigorous plant. Good drainage is always important when growing coneflowers like Echinacea 'Solar Flare', and no planting in colder hardiness zones after late summer.
