Echinacea 'Butterfly Kisses' (Ships in Spring)

Coneflower

Echinacea ‘Butterfly Kisses’ is a compact, double-flowered coneflower that bursts with vibrant, pompom blooms in shades of rosy pink, accented by lighter outer petals that frame the central tuft. Its charming, dwarf habit makes it ideal for borders, containers, and smaller garden spaces, while still offering a long season of color from summer into fall. The blossoms are highly attractive to pollinators, and its resilience—including drought tolerance—ensures it thrives in sunny, well-drained settings, bringing cheerful texture and reliable performance to both formal plantings and naturalized displays.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Echinacea 'Butterfly Kisses' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: Plant bare roots in early to mid-spring after the danger of frost has passed. Soak roots in water for 3–6 hours before planting to rehydrate. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root mass and deep enough to spread the roots out comfortably. Position the crown just at or slightly below soil level, then backfill and water thoroughly.
Location: Choose a sunny site (6+ hours daily). Echinacea thrives in open, well-lit spaces and tolerates poor soils once established.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0). Avoid soggy or compacted areas.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during establishment. Once new growth appears, reduce watering—Echinacea is drought-tolerant once established.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. No winter protection needed in most climates.
Fertilization: Minimal feeding required. Compost in spring is usually sufficient. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers.
Pruning: Deadhead to encourage reblooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and wildlife. Cut back in late winter or early spring.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3 to 4 years in spring or fall. Some varieties self-seed readily.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free and deer-resistant. Good air circulation helps prevent mildew.
