Echinacea CARA MIA ‘Carmine’ (Coneflower)

Step into summer with Echinacea CARA MIA ‘Carmine’, a perennial that commands attention with its intense carmine-red flowers. Unlike more muted coneflowers, its blooms bring a vivid punch of colour that instantly enlivens sunny borders, mixed beds, or large containers. The petals fan out elegantly around a sturdy central cone, creating a striking contrast that draws the eye from any angle.

This variety is built for both beauty and performance. Its strong, upright stems give height and movement, allowing the flowers to sway gracefully in summer breezes while providing an architectural backbone to mixed plantings. Beneath them, neat green foliage forms a tidy clump, offering a backdrop that enhances the blooms’ dramatic hue.

CARA MIA ‘Carmine’ is as friendly to wildlife as it is to gardeners. Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators flock to the rich nectar, making it a natural choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Hardy and low-maintenance once established, it thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, tolerates dry spells, and will reward occasional deadheading with an extended flowering season.

Ideal for adding colour, structure, and a touch of summer drama, Echinacea CARA MIA ‘Carmine’ transforms sunny spots into a lively, pollinator-rich spectacle that lasts throughout the season.
