Echinacea Meadowbrite™ Orange

Orange Meadowbrite™ is considered the first-ever orange coneflower ever in cultivation. This plant is truly novel with its brightly colored, deep orange ray florets, dark maroon cone and intensely sweet fragrance.

Orange Meadowbrite was the first orange coneflower ever in cultivation. This plant is truly novel with its brightly colored, deep orange ray florets, dark maroon cone, and intensely sweet fragrance. It is a vigorous plant with lance-shaped, semi-glossy, deep green foliage, reaching a height of 2 1/2' to 3'. A breakthrough in ornamental plant breeding! Vibrant, perfectly formed tangerine-orange blooms float above deep grass-green foliage. A free-blooming cultivar with incredible drought tolerance. A welcome addition to any garden.
