Evening Glow Echinacea is a freely branching native perennial with strong upright stems that do not need staking and bright green foliage. The fragrant bicolor flowers open yellow with a dark red center cone and mature to apricot with a rose center blush and bloom from summer until frost. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed. Drought tolerant.
