Echinacea purpurea ‘Hot Papaya’
A fiery standout in the Cone‑Fections™ series, Echinacea purpurea ‘Hot Papaya’ dazzles with double, shaggy pom‑pom blooms in vibrant red‑orange with golden centers and maroon‑striped stems. It flourishes on upright, freely branching plants reaching 75–90 cm (30–36″) tall and 60–75 cm (24–30″) wide, providing spectacular bold color from mid-summer into early fall. Fragrant and long-blooming, these flowers are excellent for cut bouquets and shift gracefully into dried arrangements, while their seedheads feed finches and other birds through winter. Thriving in full sun on average to dry soils, 'Hot Papaya' is deer-resistant, drought-tolerant once established, and a butterfly and bee magnet.
