With some of the prettiest flowers we’ve ever seen on a Coneflower, ‘Sweet Sandia’ is destined to be an attention getter captivating you and your guests, including the butterflies. Large and sweetly fragrant 4-inch diameter flowers have outward-facing petals that are watermelon pinkish red at the center generously tipped in bright green. The petals surround a contrasting, prominent bronze-orange cone. Perched atop tall strong stems, these dazzling coneflowers start appearing in early to mid summer continuing through early fall. A truly beautiful and impressive display in the garden and in cut flower flower arrangements. As with other versions of our North American native coneflowers, Sweet Sandia is an easy-to-grow and low maintenance hardy perennial that is drought tolerant when established and which deer tend to turn their nose up to.

Growing upright to 18 to 24 inches tall and 18 inches wide, the Sweet6 Sandia Coneflower is ideal for use as an accent or grouping in sunny to lightly shaded perennial and woodland borders where it will naturalize if some spent flowers/seedheads are left on the plant towards the end of the flowering season. A fine addition to butterfly, cut flower, cottage, wildflower and pink or red theme gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  18 inches apart for mass plantings; 30 inches apart for space between plants
