Coneflower

The bright orange Echinacea 'Tiki Torch' is summer's hottest new coneflower variety. Once established, the sun-loving 'Tiki Torch' tolerates heat and drought while growing to a hearty 36 inches tall.

Plant Tip: Clip off blooms as they fade, and new ones will continue growing well into fall.
