Professional Growing Information Ordered 6, when they arrived 2 didn't look good but I planted all of them. Within a week the 2 that looked bad died. Within a month the other 4 died. We've had a lot of rain and high heat. I worked hard to prepare spots for these plants like I do for everything else but it seems they are much more finicky and harder to grow than I expected. Everything else I've planted in the same area and same time frame is thriving. Adding coneflowers to my list of not compatible with my garden. I did get a refund for the first two plants that died right away.

I love this plant on our patio. Our outdoor furniture has cushions which match it exactly, The flowers last a long time. We have a small yard with sun & shade where we enjoy this plant. I have purchased several colors of these coneflowers, but this orange one is my favorite.
