Kismet Intense Orange Echinacea, Coneflower Kismet Intense Orange, Echinacea 'TNECHKIO', Kismet Series
Echinacea Kismet Intense Orange (Coneflower) is a compact perennial boasting a profusion of large, intense orange daisies adorned with a prominent chocolate central cone. Blooming from early summer until frost, each flower lasts for weeks with a deep rich color. This dwarf coneflower has a strong upright habit and is excellent for perennial borders, small gardens, prairies or patio containers. Can be used in fresh cut or dried arrangements.
Echinacea, commonly called Coneflower, has been cultivated as a hardy and showy perennial since the 1700s, both in North America and Europe. Truly an American plant, native to the central and eastern part of the country, it was used by the early Native Americans to cure wounds and infections. A great prairie flower, its bright and large blossoms made a successful transition to the backyard. Traditionally purple, with ray flowers that droop downward off the central cone, Coneflowers today enjoy a rich variety of colors and flower shapes with ray florets held horizontal, single or even doubled, giving them the look of Chrysanthemum. Easily grown from seed, they thrive on neglect.
