Description
Free flowering, tall stems of attractive, vibrantly-coloured blooms in a range of pinks, reds, oranges and yellows with brown cone-shaped centres. The Cheyenne Spirit selection have strong stems above green foliage making them excellent border plants and great cut flowers. Each plant has its own colour so buy multiple plants to benefit from the full effect. It dies down below ground level in winter before shooting again in the spring.
The flowers are attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators. If you leave the seed heads, birds find them a valuable food source over winter. Many people claim medicinal and herbal benefits of Echinacea and it is included in foods for small animals (guinea pigs, chinchillas, etc). If you are planning to use Echinacea herbally, medicinally or for animal food please carry out thorough research into suitability and methodology.
