Overview
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)
