Whether you're a long-time fan or coneflowers or have never grown them, Tres Amigos a great choice for jazzing up your landscape.Watching the blooms mature throughout their long season is like witnessing a living sunset in slow motion. The blossoms begin a peachy-orange tone which deepens to magenta and then finally a rich burgundy. Stunning! This sun-loving perennial is beloved by local pollinators, particularly butterflies which feast on its nectar-rich center cone. Thankfully deer don't find the flowers nearly as appetizing and largely leaves them alone. Tres Amigos is quite compact, but what it lacks in size it makes up for with sheer flower power. This plant is quite durable and doesn't mind dry soil, making it a boon for drought-prone areas. It is also remarkably cold-hardy for an Echinacea so even Northern gardens can bask in its rich beauty. Treat your landscape and vases to this cheery coneflower and get ready to enjoy months of colorful fun!
