Echinacea 'Fatal Attraction'
Sun: Full sun all day - from approx 7am through to 7pm
Soil: A mixed bag of first year garden soils - well drained.
Flowering: Heavy in first year from a 1 gallon sized root. The flower is outstanding with a gold circle in the seed head and delightful maroon-purple petals. Outstanding flower color in my opinion. Note that the pictures do not do it justice; I had great difficulty getting the right color in the picture. The real color is closer to the small upright petals on the unopened bud.
Hardiness: No problem in this USDA 4 garden.
Recommendation: This is an outstanding variety of coneflower for general garden use. The gold circle in the seed head is a great addition to the appearance.
A big 5 gold stars for this one.
