Looking to add a fiery burst of color to your garden or patio this season? The Orange Passion Coneflower (Echinacea ‘Orange Passion’) is a striking perennial that brings heat and heart to any landscape with its vibrant blooms, robust growth habit, and pollinator appeal. What makes this coneflower so eye-catching is its dynamic color palette. The large, daisy-like flowers begin as vivid orange, and mature into a soft, peachy hue that adds depth and visual interest. Each bloom is crowned with a prominent, dark burgundy cone that not only enhances its dramatic look but also provides a valuable food source for birds once the petals drop. Whether you’re planning a bold flower border, looking to liven up your pollinator garden, or dressing up a sunny patio, this coneflower fits right in. It’s a standout in both traditional flower beds and containers, offering flexibility for small spaces or urban gardens.
