Echinacea

‘Mango Meadowbrighte’
Zones A2, A3; 1-24
Full Sun
Moderate to Regular Water

These are tough, colorful perennials from central and eastern North America. Daisylike flowers, usually with narrow, arching rays, have brownish orange, dome-shaped centers and are held on straight stems above clumps of bristly foliage. Flowers are often lightly fragrant. Generally bloom over a long period in summer (may start in spring in mild-winter climates). Flowering may continue until frost. Use on the outskirts of gardens or in wide borders with other robust perennials. Also excellent in containers. Perform well in summer heat (though not in the hottest desert areas, where they are mainly spring blooming). ‘Mango Meadowbrite’ grows 2-3 ft. high and wide; orange-yellow petals surround orange-brown centers.
