A hybrid Coneflower, this selection features bright, bicolor orange and yellow petals surrounding a large rusty-brown, button-shaped cone. Flowers are fragrant. Plant habit is large, well-branched, strong and bushy. Ideal for sunny borders and growing in mixed containers. Attractive to butterflies. Excellent cut flower.
