Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Echinacea are a family of delightfully low-maintenance, sun-loving herbaceous perennials that thrive in tough conditions once established. Plant in about any kind of well-drained soil with regular moisture for new plants. While Coneflowers are very drought-tolerant and have low-moisture needs, for best flowering and blooms all summer and fall, provide these fancy perennials with regular moisture. Mulch the mounds with 3-4 inches of arborist bark chips. Deadhead to encourage new blooms, then prune back mounds in late fall after the foliage yellows. Coneflowers are also fantastic flowering perennials for fire-wise landscaping!
- Full Sun
- Thrives in Most Well-Drained Soil Types
- Moderate Moisture & Low Water Needs Once Established
- Xeric, Drought, Firewise & Adaptable
- Deadhead After Flowers Fade & Prune Back Late Fall
- Low-Maintenance & Easy To Grow!
The Tequila Sunrise® Coneflower will add brilliant bi-color blooms to your landscape and bring in the butterflies and bees to the party! Hurry and order this fantastic new SunSeekers™ series offering today from NatureHills.com!
