Details
Reliable first-year flowering Echinacea from the Sombrero® Series, 'Tres Amigos,' showcases a uniform habit, excellent winter hardiness, and outstanding landscape performance with a high flower count, supporting pollinator-friendly, season-extending, fall, and deer-resistant programs. This variety boasts an exceptional display of colors, with flowers opening peachy-coral, maturing to rose, and fading to burgundy, all present simultaneously on a single plant. Growing 2 to 4 feet in height with dark green foliage, these fast growers self-sow profusely, offering a continuous bloom from midsummer through fall frost. The raised cone-like centers attract butterflies, while leaving the seed heads post-bloom invites songbirds, enhancing garden biodiversity. The vibrant hues of the setting sun are captured in the early blooming flowers that transition from peachy orange to magenta, then age to a rich wine burgundy, attracting pollinators to their nectar-rich cones.
