Echinacea purpurea ‘Sombrero Halo Yellow Red’ Description

Echinacea purpurea ‘Sombrero Halo Yellow Red’ is a compact coneflower selected for its distinctive bicoloured blooms. Golden-yellow petals develop a contrasting red to orange-red halo around the prominent central cone, creating a warm display from midsummer into early autumn. Strong branching stems rise above a clump of coarse green foliage and generally remain sturdy without extensive support. Use it near the front or middle of a sunny border, in prairie-style planting or in a large patio container. Grow in fertile, humus-rich soil that remains moderately moist during summer but drains freely through winter. The flowers attract pollinating insects and can be cut for arrangements. Avoid heavy winter-wet ground in Ireland and leave the final cones standing for birds if desired.
