Pairs well with

Sombrero Adobe Orange opens pumpkin orange around a darker orange cone, and the color holds without fading as the flowers age. Echinacea 'Balsomador', sold as Sombrero Adobe Orange, grows 18 to 22 inches tall and 22 to 24 inches wide in full sun to part sun, hardy from Zone 4 through Zone 9.

Bloom starts in early summer and reblooms into fall, and deadheading keeps it going. The stems are stiff and well-branched, so the flowers stand without staking.

The habit is compact and rounded, wider than it is tall, which suits a container, the front of a border, or a mass planting.

Leave the last seedheads standing at the end of the season for goldfinches. Coneflowers take drought, heat, humidity, and poor soil once established, and they want well-drained ground. Winter wet is the usual cause of failure, so avoid low spots that stay saturated. Deer generally leave them alone.

Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in spring in average, well-drained soil, spacing 18–24 inches apart. Adobe Orange produces warm, terracotta-orange flowers with a dark central cone on a compact, well-branched plant. It adapts to average garden conditions without special preparation. Water regularly for the first few weeks after planting, then reduce as the plant establishes. Handles heat and dry conditions well.

Care Tips

Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering, or leave seed heads for birds in fall. Divide every three to four years in early spring. No heavy fertilizing is needed. The warm, earthy orange-terracotta color pairs beautifully with golds, reds, and bronzes in the late summer garden. An important nectar plant for bees and butterflies. The compact Sombrero series is one of the best for smaller garden spaces.
