Echinacea x 'Cheyenne Spirit' - Cheyenne Spirit Echinacea, Coneflower
Cheyenne Echinacea is an upright free-branching native perennial with strong stems that do not need staking and grey-green foliage. The large fragrant flowers come in a variety of vibrant shades of orange, red, purple, and yellow and bloom from summer to fall. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed.
