This majestic coneflower shows off its blooms like a slow summer sunset with tones of apricot, peach and pink all meeting at a warm maroon center. Most rainbows are gone within minute of appearing but 'Rainbow Marcella' is one you can enjoy all summer and well into fall. This cultivar thrives in full sun and is quite tolerant of drought and deer. It is loved by butterflies and makes an excellent cut flower.
The single petaled blooms will retain their sherbet coloring until the frosts of winter. This is a very versatile perennial - it is happy in the garden or container and is also perfect as a cut flower. Zone: 4-9. H: 16-18". W: 18-23".
