Monrovia® Fatal Attraction Echinacea is a compact upright clumping native perennial with strong deep red stems that do not need staking and grey-green foliage. The short petaled magenta purple flowers with red-orange cones bloom from mid 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.
