Bold colour and lasting performance make this coneflower a showpiece. Bushy plants send up loads of 4" blooms marked by two tiers of vibrant magenta petals around a yellow-and-red cone. Its drought tolerance and long flowering period suit sunny gardens, while the nectar-rich flowers draw bees and butterflies. This healthy, many-stemmed selection is from Breck’s friend and Dutch breeder Marco van Noort.
