Echinacea SOMBRERO® ‘Sangrita’ (Coneflower)
Sombrero® ‘Sangrita’ brings bold, fiery color to the summer garden. This vibrant variety opens with orange blooms that mature to a deep, warm red centered by dark cones, standing out beautifully against its rich, dark green foliage. Like all members of the Sombrero® series, it’s well-branched, sturdy, and covered in blooms that last from early summer into fall—without needing vernalization to flower.
Praised for their cheerful, long-lasting blossoms, coneflowers are beloved for their resilience and ease of care. ‘Sangrita’ thrives in sunny, well-drained spots and provides valuable nectar for pollinators throughout the season. In fall, its dried seed heads offer food for birds and texture for the winter landscape, extending its interest year-round.
Why It’s a Creekside Champion:
We love ‘Sangrita’ for its vivid red-orange blooms, strong branching, and ability to thrive in the heat—bringing reliable color and pollinator activity to any sunny garden.
