Flame Thrower Echinacea blooms earlier than other coneflowers with fiery two-toned blossoms burning red-orange near the cone and lightening to golden yellow at the tips. Among the best echinaceas for cut flower use with long, strong stems and fragrant blossoms. Well-branched plants ignite the garden with hot color all season, flowering June through October. (Echinacea hybrid)
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 24-36" wide. Flame Thrower Echinacea (Coneflower), a member of the Prairie Pillar™Series, stands tall, holding masses of blooms atop sturdy three-foot stems. A vigorous grower and abundant bloomer, place Flame Thrower Echinacea toward the middle or back of mixed beds and borders for vibrant, season-long color. Large, single blooms attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators to the garden. Echinacea are robust plants equally well-adapted to hot, dry southern gardens as cold northerly realms. Give them plenty of sunshine and allow soils to dry between watering. A water-wise selection perfect for dressing up fence lines or massing in wildlife plantings. Goldfinches feast on seeds from the gorgeous cones in autumn, while deer leave echinacea alone. Deep tap roots make plants drought tolerant once established.
