Orange is still a hot color in flowers and this coneflower adds fragrance to its allure. At 20 inches tall and wide, Orange You Awesome is a magnet for butterflies, bees and hummingbirds. Plant in a mass or several Orange You Awesome together for a wonderful show of winged beauties. The flowers on this North America native perennial last a long time in the landscape or when snipped for indoor enjoyment. The flowers can be dried for everlasting arrangements, too.
Orange You Awesome is one of four colors in the Color Coded coneflower series. It is drought tolerant and deer resistant. Its size also makes it doable in a large container, where it can be filler or grown singly. Winged beauties will visit this plant if left upright in winter. The birds devour this perennial’s dark center cone in winter.
Color Coded Orange You Awesome Coneflower Care
Grow in full sun (6+ hours a day) for the best flowers. Orange You Awesome is not picky about the soil. If the soil is too rich or if you use too much fertilizer, the plants may flop. It tolerates part sun (4 to 6 hours), but may bloom less, the flowers will be more tangerine and they may be smaller.
Although drought tolerant, most flowering plants do better when watered during hot, dry spells. Orange You Awesome can be tidied up by removing spent flowers, or allow them to remain to feed the birds. Cut back to the ground in early spring.
Color Coded Orange You Awesome Coneflower Spacing
In the landscape, space this coneflower 16 to 20 inches apart. If planting in a mass, stagger the plants to create a full look.

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.
