Panama Red Echinacea, also known as Coneflower, is a perennial native to the United States. This plant is an early-blooming variety developed by Danziger. It has an upright habit of 12-14" tall and large red blooms from early summer through fall. Echinacea is perennial in zone 5-7 and offers good heat tolerance and deer resistance. Besides medicinal applications, this plant is multifaceted in the landscape, performing well in full sun with moderate water. It flourishes in rock gardens, cottage landscapes, containers, cut flower beds, and borders. Hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies love Coneflower, and the large seed heads make excellent bird food in the fall.
