Echinacea purpurea x parado 'Sunrise' Common Names: Coneflower

Description:

The blooms are fully 4½ to 5 inches wide, emerging a deep, rich yellow with a sweet fragrance. As the blooms mature, they turn a lighter shade of yellow. Sunrise reaches 18 to 24 inches tall and 24 inches wide, well-branched and sturdy. The butterflies and bees will have a field day with the huge central cones as will the songbirds in fall.

Recommendations:

We like to use it along walks or borders. While it does bloom steadly until late fall we did find deheading helps.

Problems:

Remember that good drainage is recommended for all echinaceas.We first planted it in a sunny but damp location where it bloomed but never thrived, Once we moved it to a drier location it really took off.
