Out of all the Echinaceas I've grown, 'Hot Summer' is the best! It's so colorful! There are different colors of flowers on the same plant, as it changes every few days. I keep it deadheaded because I want to make sure it keeps producing the gorgeous flowers.
If I could grow only one variety of Echinacea, this would be the one! I'm planning to replace all the Echineceas I grow with 'Hot Summer'!

Best of the color-changing Echinaceas. Can have different color blooms on the same plant. Reblooms without deadheading

It's exciting to see how the color changes on the blooms daily! One of my very favorite plants!
