Coneflowers give a bed or outdoor space a summertime vibe, and the Cheyenne Spirit Coneflower or Echinacea takes things to the next level with flowers in bold hues. The elliptical-shaped petals open so far that they start to bend backward to reveal the extended dark brown seed cone. The striking blooms are in red, orange, pink, and yellow shades for a burst of vibrant color. Flowers bloom during the summer on top of thin stems with dark green foliage near the base of the plant.
Grow this perennial in beds, borders, mass plantings, containers, or any area needing some color. Trim some of the stems to use the blooms as cut flowers. The Cheyenne Spirit Coneflower is drought-tolerant and attracts butterflies. This plant is deer-resistant for added convenience. Grow this Coneflower as a perennial in USDA zones 3 through 8.
Cheyenne Spirit Coneflower Care
Coneflowers are adaptable and can handle full sun to partial shade. Plant in average soil that is moist and well-drained and water when the top few inches of the soil are dry. Established plants are drought-tolerant, but giving the plant water during a dry period supports continued growth. Coneflowers are not heavy feeders, but a light dose of balanced fertilizer in the spring will encourage abundant blooms.
Remove spent flowers to clean up the appearance and promote more flowers. Growth can be cut back during the fall or left in place to self-seed and provide a food source for birds.
Cheyenne Spirit Coneflower Spacing
The lovely blooms of the Cheyenne Spirit Coneflower will grow 18 to 30 inches tall and cover an area of 10 to 20 inches. Plants can be grown as close as 10 to 20 inches apart to create a full, lush bed.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
