The Tomato Soup Coneflower will surely please with its bold, good looks and spicy fragrance. Bright red petals are evenly spaced and surround a large brown cone. The lovely flowers of this Echinacea are offset by lance-shaped green foliage that creates a dense layer of greenery below the blooms.
The Tomato Soup Coneflower has a clump-forming, mounded, upright growth habit. Feature this beauty in beds, borders, or mass plantings. Coneflowers make a lovely addition to a butterfly garden and are well loved by butterflies and bees. The Tomato Soup Coneflower stands 24 to 32 inches tall, so plant it near the middle or back of a mixed bed. Trim the tall stems and display the flowers in arrangements. The Tomato Soup Coneflower grows as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 9.
Tomato Soup Coneflower Care
Part of the appeal of coneflowers is their low-maintenance and adaptability. Plant the Tomato Soup Coneflower in full sun to partial shade. The soil should have increased organic content and moisture retention but still drain well. Water weekly or when the top few inches of soil dry out. Coneflowers grow nicely without assistance, but benefit from a balanced fertilizer in the spring to encourage abundant blooms.
Remove faded flowers to tidy the Tomato Soup Coneflower and extend the bloom cycle. Leave the flowers at the end of the season so birds can feed on the seed cones or trim the growth back at any time between late fall and early spring. Divide the plant as needed every few years.
Tomato Soup Coneflower Spacing
The Tomato Soup Coneflower will grow 24 to 32 inches tall and 32 inches wide. Space plants 32 inches apart for a full and continuous look.
