Red Coneflower opens saturated red daisy heads around a dark, domed cone, then lets each bloom soften toward burnt orange as it ages, so one clump carries two colors at once. Red-tinged stems hold the flowers on a compact upright frame above rough green leaves. Echinacea hybrid Panama 'Red' arrives as a live 4-inch plant.

At a foot or two tall it belongs at the front of a sunny border, in a patio container, or in the row you cut from. Plant three or five together for a real patch of color, or thread it through fine-textured prairie grasses, where the flat flower heads read against all that movement. Butterflies and other pollinators work the cones from summer into fall.

Grower's note: Leave a few seed heads standing at the end of the season for the birds, and divide crowded clumps in spring to keep the flowering strong.
