Sombrero Rosada opens bright rose-pink with a coppery cone, a clean clear pink rather than a purple-leaning one. Echinacea Sombrero Rosada 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 on compact, well-branched stems that hold the flowers upright. Deadheading keeps the run going.
The plant stays low and rounded, spreading a little wider than it grows tall, which makes it usable in a container, at the front of a border, or planted in a drift.
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.
