    Long Blooming, Drought Tolerant

    The flowers are absolutely the color of a ripe cantaloupe! Echinacea SUPREME 'Cantaloupe' is just as delicious as its name. This delightful semi double Coneflower resembles a gerbera daisy in the early stages. As SUPREME 'Cantaloupe' begins to open a dark brown eye is surrounded by the ripe cantaloupe orange petals. As the flower matures, the pom pom center turns orange surrounded by a flurry of petals
