Tequila Sunrise Echinacea is a compact freely branching native perennial with dense flowering. The narrow petaled single flowers emerge golden and turn paler as they mature, exposing the magenta halo around the dark cone, and bloom through summer into 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. Drought tolerant.
