All-American Selection Winner

Fleuroselect Gold Medal

Echinacea 'Cheyenne Spirit' Mix is a mix of bright gold, scarlet, orange, purple, and cream blooms on stocky, wind- and rain-resistant plants. It is a bold, very adaptable strain of our native Echinacea purpurea, and we think you will be delighted with its performance in the sunny garden.

Echinacea 'Cheyenne Spirit' Mix demonstrates excellent uniformity, with blooms that repeat even if they are not deadheaded or sheared back. These compact yet well-branched plants stand up to heat, humidity, cold winters, poor soil, and even periods of drought once they have been established in your garden. And what a magnet for pollinators. Bees and butterflies visit in summer, birds in fall.

The flowers are excellent for cutting, and the plants are largely untroubled by pests or diseases. This an amazing perennial, a must-grow for any sunny spot. Zones 4-9. The 6 pack includes six 3½" pots.

Butterflies like a lot of sunlight, so locate your garden in a sunny area.
If you live in a windy location, plant your butterfly-attracting plants near a building, fence, or hedge to protect them.
Plant a variety of nectar-rich plants, as well as shrubs and evergreens for shelter.
Since many butterflies and native flowering plants have co-evolved, try to put in some that are native to your area. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center provides lists of plants native to states and regions.
Certain colors are particularly attracting to butterflies – red, yellow, pink, purple, or orange blooms that are clustered or flat-topped, with a short flower tubes are especially attractive to adult butterflies.
Avoid using pesticides, especially around nectar-producing plants.
Provide a shallow source of water – try a birdbath with pebbles lining the bowl.
Place a rock in a sunny spot for butterfly basking and resting.
Create a "puddling area" by digging a shallow hole filled with compost or manure where rainwater will collect and release essential salts and minerals.
If you want butterflies to breed in your garden, put in some caterpillar food plants, such as parsley, milkweeds, asters, thistles, violets, clover, grasses, and Queen Anne’s Lace.
Since butterflies need nectar throughout the entire adult phase of their lives, try to create a design that will allow for a continuous bloom – when one stops blooming, another starts.

Tips for gardening in particularly hot, dry climates:

1. Water with a drip system whenever possible – soak the bed slowly and thoroughly to a depth of 10" to 12".

2. Watering deeply every 3 to 5 days is preferable to a shallow daily watering.

3. Water in the early morning, so foliage has time to dry.

4. Add a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch or similar material to aid in water retention and help keep the roots cool during hot weather.
