Common Name:
Echinacea SUNSEEKERS ‘Salmon’
Description:
Echinacea SUNSEEKERS ‘Salmon’ is a stunning, compact coneflower variety bred for vibrant colour and exceptional performance in garden beds and pots. This cultivar showcases an abundance of semi-double to double blooms in warm salmon-pink tones with a golden central cone, creating a glowing effect from summer into early autumn. With strong, upright stems and excellent branching, it provides a long-lasting floral display that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Well-suited to Melbourne’s climate, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating heat and short dry spells once established. Deadheading prolongs blooming and helps maintain a tidy appearance. Ideal for cottage gardens, mixed perennial borders, and containers, this low-maintenance perennial offers reliable seasonal colour and structural charm.
