Echinacea Sunseekers Salmon

Echinacea Sunseekers Salmon

Echinacea Sunseekers Salmon is a standout among modern Echinacea cultivars, prized for its saturated, salmon-toned blooms and reliable performance in compact garden spaces. This variety features wide, daisy-like flowers with overlapping petals in a glowing blend of coral-pink and apricot hues, centered around a rich copper-orange cone. Its flowers sit atop sturdy, well-branched stems that resist flopping, making it a tidy and eye-catching choice for borders, containers, or pollinator gardens.

Blooming from early summer well into fall, SunSeekers® Salmon attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. The plant’s upright habit and bold blooms offer continuous color and interest through the hottest months of the season. As with all coneflowers, this cultivar is drought tolerant once established and thrives in full sun with minimal care. It’s also deer-resistant and well-suited for cut flower arrangements.

With its vivid hues, compact size, and tough performance, SunSeekers® Salmon is a fresh take on a prairie classic, perfect for adding a pop of warm color to both cottage-style and contemporary landscapes.

Planting:
Install in spring or fall in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Amend heavy clay if needed.

Watering:
Water regularly during establishment. Once mature, it is drought-tolerant but appreciates occasional deep watering during extended dry spells.

Pruning:
Deadhead spent blooms to encourage rebloom. Cut back stems to ground level after flowering season ends.

Pest & Disease Control:
Generally pest-free; good air circulation prevents mildew or root rot.

Soil Tips:
Avoid soggy soil; prefers lean, slightly acidic to neutral soil for best performance.
