Echinacea ‘Flame Thrower’ (Coneflower)
Echinacea hybrid ‘Flame Thrower’ sets the garden ablaze with 3½-inch, two-toned blooms in fiery shades of yellow-orange and red-orange surrounding a bold copper cone. One of the earliest coneflowers to bloom, this reliable perennial keeps the color coming from early summer through fall. Its well-branched habit and strong, upright stems make it perfect for the middle of the border, along a fence line, or in pollinator-friendly plantings. Fragrant, free-flowering, and easy to grow, ‘Flame Thrower’ is a garden performer that truly lives up to its name.
Why It’s a Creekside Champion™:
We love ‘Flame Thrower’ for its vibrant bicolor blooms, long flowering season, and strong, well-branched habit that delivers nonstop color all summer.
