Zn 4. Brilliant Color range. Drought Tolerant.
This stunning first-year flowering echinacea captures the spirit of the North American plains by producing a delightful mix of flower colors from rich purple, pink, red and orange tones to lighter yellows, creams and white. Compact and sturdy in growth, it adds sparkle to the garden from midsummer through fall.
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.
