Echinacea SUNSEEKERS® ‘Carmine’

Common Name:
Coneflower 'Sunseekers Carmine'

Description:
Echinacea SUNSEEKERS® ‘Carmine’ is a striking, compact coneflower variety celebrated for its vibrant, carmine-pink blooms and exceptional flowering performance. Part of the Sunseekers® series, this cultivar delivers an abundance of semi-double to fully double daisy-like flowers with a rich, saturated hue and a prominent central cone that matures to deep bronze. Flowering begins in early summer and continues well into autumn, making it a long-season highlight in any sunny garden. With a neat, upright habit and sturdy stems, it’s ideal for smaller garden spaces, mixed borders, and containers. In Melbourne's climate, it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and benefits from regular deadheading to encourage continual blooming. Known for attracting pollinators, 'Sunseekers Carmine' also offers excellent cut flowers and copes well with heat and moderate dry spells once established.
