Common Name:
Echinacea SUNSEEKERS® ‘Mineola’
Description:
Echinacea SUNSEEKERS® ‘Mineola’ is a showy and compact coneflower variety, prized for its abundant, semi-double blooms in a vivid orange-pink blend that radiates warmth and energy throughout the summer months. Each daisy-like flower features layered petals surrounding a prominent central cone, making it a magnet for pollinators and a standout in garden beds or decorative pots. Bred for improved form and vigour, ‘Mineola’ offers excellent branching and a long flowering season from late spring through to early autumn. Well-suited to Melbourne’s temperate climate, it performs best in full sun and free-draining soil, showing good drought resistance once established. This perennial is ideal for cottage gardens, prairie-style plantings, or as a cut flower, delivering a splash of colour with minimal care.
