Cara Mia™ Coral Coneflower brings warmth, fullness, and refined structure to sunny garden spaces. The flowers open in a unique transformation, beginning as green-eyed, anemone-style blooms before unfurling into fully double blossoms rich in coral, peach, and soft shell-pink hues. This evolving display adds depth and intrigue, making each plant feel dynamic rather than static.
The plant itself is as polished as the flowers it carries. A compact, upright habit supports the heavy blooms without flopping, while healthy mid-green foliage remains full and attractive right down to the ground. This tidy structure makes Cara Mia™ Coral Coneflower exceptionally versatile, fitting beautifully into perennial borders, pollinator gardens, and mixed plantings where both color and form matter.
Part of the standout Cara Mia™ series, this coneflower was selected for high crown count, strong performance, and eye-catching double flowers. It pairs especially well with its sister variety, Cara Mia™ Carmine Coneflower, but shines just as brightly on its own. Long blooming, durable, and garden-worthy, this is a coneflower that earns its place season after season.
Family: Asteraceae · Common Name: Coneflower
