Echinacea purpurea Kismet Red

Coneflower Kismet Red

A striking perennial variety, prized for its eye-catching and pollinator-pleasing bright red flowers. These large flowers, with a deep orange centre, contrast beautifully with the dense, dark green foliage. Compact and bushy, this coneflower is ideal for borders or beds, providing colour throughout the summer. Once established, echinacea is drought tolerant and low maintenance. Fertilise lightly in spring to stimulate growth and flowering. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage new blooms and maintain its neat appearance. Cold hardy, it can withstand harsh winters, although mulching around the roots is recommended to protect them from extreme temperatures.
