Echinacea ‘Summer Cocktail’ (Coneflower)

Echinacea ‘Summer Cocktail’ brings a playful and vibrant touch to sunny gardens with its orange-yellow flowers that gradually develop a pinkish-salmon hue as the season progresses. Blooming from mid-summer through to early autumn, this perennial provides long-lasting colour and a dynamic display that evolves over time, making it a captivating focal point in borders, mixed beds, and container plantings.

The upright stems carry each bloom above a tidy mound of green foliage, adding structure, movement, and seasonal interest. To encourage continued flowering, occasional deadheading after the initial blooms promotes a fresh wave of flowers throughout the summer, ensuring your garden remains lively and colourful.

This variety is highly pollinator-friendly, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, making it an excellent choice for gardeners aiming to create a wildlife-supporting environment. It is naturally resistant to deer, and rabbits generally avoid it, combining aesthetic appeal with practical resilience.

With a compact habit and low-maintenance growth, SunSeekers ‘Summer Cocktail’ thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and is hardy once established. Its ever-changing flowers, ecological value, and effortless care make Echinacea ‘Summer Cocktail’ a joyful and reliable addition to modern, sunny gardens.
