Echinacea, Hybrid Coneflower 'Sombrero Hot Coral'

It's late August, and I just found these at a big box store where the leaves seem to have suffered some sun scorch or drying. They are in...Read More half gallon pots, the roots are not root-bound, each of the three has full buds coming on plus those that are in bloom or have finished. The information I've been able to find so far is that they are more cold tolerant than some of the other hybrids. As soon as we start getting some rain, I'll get them into the ground, and will report next spring if they make it through the winter. Although the color is labeled Hot Coral, they are much more of an orange than a coral at this point in the year. Perhaps earlier in the summer they would have had more coral tones.
