Plant Features

The Hot Summer Echinacea Plant has become a favorite Coneflower due to its chameleon-like color changes! The blossoms on this plant open a bright, sunny yellow, changing to brilliant scarlet as the bloom matures. The result is a veritable collage of multi-colored flowers that harmonize beautifully, sometimes all on the same heat resistant plant at the same time! Known to attract bees and butterflies, you will absolutely love it!

Our Echinacea Plants are grown with care and without harmful pesticides, making them a safe and beneficial addition to your garden. Guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to thrive!

Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in spring or fall for best results
  • - Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0
  • - Prefers well-drained soil, tolerates poor or sandy soils

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water regularly until established, allowing soil to dry out between waterings
  • - Once mature, Echinacea is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring if soil fertility is low
  • - Excessive fertilizing can lead to leggy growth; minimal feeding is best

Pruning and Training:

  • - Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms, but leave some seed heads for winter interest and wildlife
  • - Cut back in late fall or early spring to clean up old growth

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Echinacea is generally pest and disease resistant, but occasionally monitor for aphids or leaf miners
  • - Ensure good air circulation to prevent any fungal issues

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Blooms from midsummer to early fall with large, daisy-like flowers in shades of pink, purple, or white

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Hardy in USDA zones 3-9, tolerates light frost and heat

Companion Plants for Echinacea:

  • - Rudbeckia: Complements Echinacea’s bright blooms with yellow daisy-like flowers
  • - Salvia: Adds vertical spikes of blue or purple that pair well with Echinacea’s bold colors
  • - Penstemon: Provides a contrasting texture with its tubular blooms
  • - Lavender: Offers a fragrant, drought-tolerant partner that blends beautifully with Echinacea
  • - Achillea: Pairs well with Echinacea’s bright flowers while attracting pollinators

Hot Summer Echinacea Plants

Ordered two Hot Summer Echinacea plants. Plants arrived in excellent condition and are nice looking plants. would definitely order more plants from GrowJoy.

The Best Echinacea!

Out of all the Echinaceas I've grown and grow, I love 'Hot Summer' the most! It's so colorful! There are different colors of flowers on the plant, as it changes every few days. If I could grow only one variety of Echinacea, this would be the one! I'm planning to replace all the Echinaceas I grow with 'Hot Summer'!

Hot Summer Echinacea

I ordered 2 of these in mid may. They were delivered quickly and were excellent healthy plants. They arrived in the best plant packaging I have seen from any mail order center. These plants are blooming already - healthy and happy. GrowJoy will be providing plants for my garden next year and hopefully every year thereafter - they have earned my business.
