Sombrero Adobe Orange Coneflower displays a natural appeal in any garden with its earthy, deep orange blossoms. This native (Echinacea) hybrid combines uniquely intense orange petals with a typical coneflower orange center and deep green foliage below for a sea of natural contrast in garden beds, landscape meadows, or containers. It can tolerate both salt and drought, giving it appeal to coastal and dry areas of zones 4 through 9.
As a plant native to North America, coneflower is an easy-care, drought-tolerant flower that attracts butterflies but resists munching deer. The flowers of Sombrero Adobe Orange rise about 18 to 20 inches above the dark green foliage in an upright shape. Blooms appear all summer, and can highlight garden beds or hardscape borders, meadows or hillsides, and containers. Plant this echinacea as a filler before taller flowers or grasses. The plants also produce pretty orange cut or dried flowers for arrangements.
Sombrero® Adobe Orange Coneflower Care
Echinaceas grow in nearly any soil, except when it drains poorly and becomes muddy or mucky. Plant this flower in partial to full sun for best flowering, ensuring it gets at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. After planting, mulch the top of the soil around the plant with some organic compost, which will break down and feed the plant over the summer.
Water your new plant every day to every other day for the first week or so, and gradually cut watering back. In its second year, the coneflower will need no supplemental watering unless there is no rainfall for 8 weeks or more. This plant can adapt to drought, plus handle summer heat and wind. Deadhead, or remove faded flowers, during summer to ensure more blooms. You can cut back deadheading at the end of summer so birds can enjoy the seeds in fall. Then, prune the coneflower nearly to the ground in late winter.
Sombrero® Adobe Orange Coneflower Spacing
In a meadow, mass planting, or border, give coneflowers enough room to grow to their mature height and spread and to get air circulation. Space this coneflower about 18 to 20 inches from its center to the center of other 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.
