Echinacea Hot Papaya Coneflower Size:1 gallon " North Carolina Extension GardenerEchinacea Hot Papaya is a plant that we keep coming back to in our own garden. It is easy to care for and consistently produces abundant, long lasting, beautiful flowers that are strong and perfect for cutting. Starting in spring velvety deep green coneflower leaves emerge creating a nice clump. By mid summer the stems of buds emerge and transform into 3 fragrant red orange double blooming flowers where deep reds flow out from a brighter orange halo.
