Like the Sun, Fiery Meadow Mama® Coneflower is brilliant, glorious, golden, and intense. Similar to a daisy, this wildflower features large, sunshine-yellow petals, brushed with crimson at their bases, that surround a conspicuous burgundy cone. Its brilliant, single-ray florets are supported by wiry, pear-green stems and delicate lance-shaped foliage. This glorious cut flower brightens up borders, beds, containers, and bouquets. Enjoy its golden beauty inside throughout winter by drying the flowers for display. Left alone to seed throughout the winter, this fiery mama, also known as Echinacea 'Fiery Meadow Mama', provides interest all year long.

Finding Fiery Meadow Mama® Coneflower unfavorable to their palates, deer won’t bother this wildflower. This herbaceous perennial’s intense color, nectar, and seeds are beloved by bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and songbirds. Growing compact, upright, and with a medium growth rate, this gorgeous burst of sunlight grows to a maximum height of 20 to 24 inches and spread of 18 to 24 inches. Cold hardy in zones 3 to 9, this versatile cut flower is drought tolerant, heat tolerant, and humidity tolerant. This easy-to-grow and low-maintenance perennial is a perfect option to add a vibrant splash of sunshine to gardens and containers. 

Fiery Meadow Mama® Coneflower Care

Fiery Meadow Mama® Coneflower prefers moist, acidic, well-draining soil. To lower the pH of your existing soil, add peat moss. Find a location that also gets full to partial sun and plant this herbaceous perennial in the summer or fall. While this wildflower can tolerate low moisture, it will do best with about an inch of water per week. Water when the top inch of soil is dry. A low-maintenance selection, Fiery Meadow Mama® Coneflower does not normally need fertilizing; however, if your soil is lacking a lot of nutrients, you can apply a 10-10-10 fertilizer or layer of organic compost in early spring.

Deadhead spent flowers during the blooming season. If hoping to provide food for the birds during the winter, leave the spent foliage and cut it back to an inch or so high during late winter / early spring. 

Fiery Meadow Mama® Coneflower Spacing

Whether grown as a specimen or en masse, Fiery Meadow Mama® Coneflower will draw eyes to its striking bicolored petals. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart. Add companion plants such as bee balm, coral bells, coreopsis, hyssop, phlox, and salvia to create lovely cut-flower beds.

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.

Guarantee and Warranty

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.
