Common Name: Hybrid Coneflower, Summer Skyâ„¢ Coneflower
Echinacea 'Summer Sky' is a cross between Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea paradoxa. They have fragrant dark rosy-pink petals with peach tips that surrounds a large, orange central cone. They grow best under full or partial sun and in rich to average, well drained soil. They bloom well without deadheading but removing spent flowers will present a more neat appearance.
