Echinacea Fine Feathered™ï¸ ‘Scarlet Ibis’, previously named ‘Flamingo’, is a high-performing, low-maintenance perennial. This bi-colored coneflower variety has medium-to-large, fragrant flowers in head-turning, rich, coral-pink shades and soft-white tips on each petal, mimicking the tones seen in a Flamingo. The beautiful warm coral color isn’t often seen in a perennial garden!
The central discs or ‘cones’ are dark amber-red and are a nutritious nectar resource for pollinators and butterflies. Scarlet Ibis Coneflower has a long flowering period–from July through September. It is also fantastic as a long-lasting cut flower when used in floral arrangements. It's hardy in Zones 4-9, and grows 18-20 inches in both height and width. Fine Feathered™ Scarlet Ibis Coneflowers work just as well when grown in containers as they do in the landscape.
Fine Feathered™ï¸ Scarlet Ibis Coneflower Care
Coneflowers love full sun; the best spot to plant them is where they will receive at least 6 or more hours of direct sunlight daily. Fine Feathered™ Scarlet Ibis isn’t fussy and will tolerate most soil types, but it does not enjoy sitting in soggy soil. Plant it in well-draining, fertile soil, rich in organic matter such as garden compost.
Scarlet Ibis Coneflower can easily be planted in containers; just make sure the pot is at least 20 inches in diameter, has ample drainage, and is placed in a sunny location. Spur on additional flowering by regularly deadheading spent flowers. Scarlet Ibis can be fertilized with an organic, bloom-boosting fertilizer throughout the season for continual flowering.
Fine Feathered™ï¸ Scarlet Ibis Coneflower Spacing
Plant this coneflower in mixed borders, cutting gardens, containers, or groupings to make a big impact. Space plants 16” apart or more on center when planting in groups, allowing for adequate air circulation between plants.

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.
