Hot Papaya Echinacea

24-36″ tall x 18-24″ wide. A delightfully unusual plant, ‘Hot Papaya’ delivers graceful powder puff blooms to the garden in an energizing shade of red. The color is long lasting and bold, with glimmers of orange, gold, magenta and lavender enhancing each petal. Best of all, ‘Hot Papaya’ is incredibly productive once established, delivering numerous blooms on each plant from midsummer through fall. Like other coneflowers, Hot Papaya is an adaptable plant, meaning that it can handle a variety of weather conditions as they come heat, humidity, drought and cold are not likely to be its undoing.
