A vibrant and colorful echinacea, 'Hot Papaya' combines fiery, red-orange double flowers with cushiony pom-pom centers that lean towards yellow-orange. Immune to fading, the striking color of these long-lasting blooms appear even lovelier next to their burgundy-striped stems and deep green foliage. 'Hot Papaya' is a sturdy, well-branched plant that tolerates tough soils and withstands drought once established. (Echinacea)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
24-36" tall x 18-24" wide. A delightfully unusual plant, 'Hot Papaya' delivers graceful powder puff blooms to the garden in an energizing shade of red. The color is long lasting and bold, with glimmers of orange, gold, magenta and lavender enhancing each petal. Best of all, 'Hot ‘Papaya' is incredibly productive once established, delivering numerous blooms on each plant from midsummer through fall. Like other coneflowers, ‘Hot Papaya’ is an adaptable plant, meaning that it can handle a variety of weather conditions as they come – heat, humidity, drought and cold are not likely to be its undoing.
