Echinacea ‘Colorburst Orange’

‘Colorburst Orange’ has it all – lovely double orange flowers and a medium short, well-branched habit. The anemone type double flowers open with centers that are dark, then lime green then orange. First year plants are multistemmed. Excellent vigor. Flowers are very large and stems are extra strong. A very exciting new Echinacea.

Grower Notes:

Plants shipped in fall require winter protection. We recommend transplanting to a 4″ pot from a plug, not a larger size container if you receive the plants in the fall. Grow with 50 – 55º F nights and 55 – 65º F days. Facultative Long Day plant. Daylength extension up to 16 hrs. has proven beneficial for promoting flowering. Low pH can be fatal.
