Description

Winner of numerous awards listed below, the Tiki Torch Coneflower wows from summer through mid fall with massive 4 to 5 inch diameter flowers in shades of vivid orange to umber tones. The long-lasting, spicey-scented flowers perched atop strong and sturdy stems up to 36 inches high retain their intense color for weeks rather than days, making them excellent for cutting and use in flower arrangements. The butterflies, hummingbirds and other beneficial pollinators love them. Seeds that follow the flowers are enjoyed by songbirds, finches and other birds. An easy-to-grow offspring of two of our native Echinacea species, Tiki Torch is sure to make a bold statement in landscape and perennial borders as well as being a great performer in container gardens.

Awards

Winner of the NMPRO New Plant Pavilion. Won the Classic City Award. Received the highest rating at MSU for container culture. The highest rated orange Echinacea in the Mt. Cuba Center trials. Has been given the Dallas Arboretum Seal of Approval from their Perennials for Purgatory trials.]

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 30 to 36 inches tall in bloom and around 18 inches wide, the Tiki Torch Orange Coneflower is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces and mixed container gardens or in groupings in sunny landscape, perennial and woodland borders. A fine addition to butterfly, hummingbird and beneficial pollinator gardens, orange theme gardens, bird gardens, cut flower gardens, native plant gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 18 to 20 inches apart for groupings

Growing Preferences

Tiki Torch Orange Coneflower is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil in full sun or part shade. Provide at least 5 hours of direct sun for best flowering. As with many other perennial plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Heavy, dense clay soils should be amended with organic matter to improve drainage. No deadheading necessary though can be done if desired. Allow some spent flowers to stay on the plant to feed seeds to the birds. Feed in spring with a good flower food or organic plant food.

Plant Long & Prosper!
