The incisive clipboard carriers of Mt. Cuba Center have entered top marks for this new coneflower. A compact grower, its strong stems bear a multitude of narrow-petalled flowers with brilliant burnished orange cones all summer to early fall. Butterflies, often two at a time, perch on the large bristly centers, sipping the nectar. Great combined with other coneflowers for a tapestry of bloom.
