Echinacea 'Rainbow Sherbet'

4½" pompom flowers with wide, overlapping ray petals. Flowers open orange before transitioning to a coral pink with matching ray petals. The color shift gives the impression of two different flower colors on the plant at once.

Praised for their cheerful brightly colored flowers, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. Be sure to leave some spent blooms on the plants in the fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter.
