Cheyenne Spirit' is a seed-grown strain from Ball Seed, a breakthrough in propagating echinaeas since cultivars are usually propagated through tissue culture. (A big reason they are so expensive.) This means we don't know what color the flowers will be until they bloom, but all are very pretty. Reds, pinks, yellows, oranges, purples, and whites reach their peak from midsummer to early fall. Plants are vigorous and well-branched, with a bushy upright habit and are drought-tolerant.
