CloseEchinacea is one of our go-to summer-blooming perennials with a wide array of flower color and shapes, sizes, and is absolutely reliable for returning year after year. 'Tomato Soup' coneflower produces large, gorgeous red, single-petaled flowers with a prominent brown cone on a dense mound that grows almost three feet tall and wide. Cutting flowers for bouquets and deadheading spent blooms throughout the growing season will prolong blooms right up until freeze. Birds love the seed heads, so consider leaving spent flowers on the plant throughout the winter. 'Tomato Soup' echinacea is a bright, eye-catching addition to xeriscapes and rock gardens, and does well in large container planters or in well-draining borders. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds will love this specimen as much as humans do.
