Echinacea ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ Mix

All-America Selections (AAS) Winner 2013

Fleuroselect Gold Medal 2012

Winner of both the highly coveted Fleuroselect Gold Medal and an All-America Selection when it was introduced in seed form, Echinacea ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ Mix is available as quick-growing plants.

This stunning mix offers well-branched, uniform, compact plants in brilliant colors. They bounce back after wind or rain, need very little water to thrive, and repeat all season long without deadheading. In short: a gardener’s dream come true.

Bright daisies of cream, yellow, gold, orange, scarlet, red, and purple top these stocky little plants from midsummer all the way into fall, replacing themselves without you having to cut or deadhead them. Every color in the mix reaches about the same size, and the flowers are very long-lasting in garden or vase. Best of all, Echinacea ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ Mix demonstrates great resistance to wind and rain, bouncing back after a storm much more effectively than other echinacea varieties.

Once Echinacea ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ Mix establishes itself in your garden—within a single season with a little TLC—it is very drought-tolerant, and stands up to heat, humidity, and cold effortlessly. This makes it a godsend in today’s hotter summers and unpredictable winters.

The plants reach 18 to 30 inches high and about 12 to 20 inches wide, with dark green foliage and very strong, thick stems supporting the bounty of blooms. Space plants about 10 to 14 inches apart in the sunny garden, and then jump back. You’re about to be overwhelmed with brilliant nonstop color.

Bred by Jian Ping Ren of Illinois, Echinacea ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ Mix is from the same program as PowWow Wild Berry. It’s a bright new day for echinacea, and this lively mix is THE plant you must add to your garden this year.
