Echinacea purpurea 'Sombrero® Salsa Red' (Coneflower)

Echinacea purpurea ‘Sombrero® Salsa Red’

Bring bold summer color to the garden with this compact, free-flowering coneflower. Large, spicy orange-red blooms rise above sturdy stems and dark green foliage, creating a bright, cheerful display from late spring through summer.

‘Sombrero® Salsa Red’ has a strong, upright clumping habit that works well in sunny borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. Its compact form makes it easy to tuck into mixed perennial plantings, while the vivid flowers pair beautifully with ornamental grasses, lavender, salvia, and other summer bloomers.

Echinacea is loved for its easy care, long bloom season, and excellent pollinator value. Butterflies are especially drawn to the flowers, while deer tend to leave the plants alone. Once established, this drought-tolerant perennial is a reliable choice for sunny, low-maintenance gardens.
