Jupiter Echinacea is a free-branching clumping native perennial with strong stems that do not need staking and medium green lance-shaped foliage. Jupiter Echinacea has huge 5-6” fragrant flowers with downward arching peach rays to pink petals and a dark orange center cones that bloom from late spring to late summer, and occasionally an additional bloom in fall. 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.
