Interesting Notes About CHEYENNE SPIRIT CONEFLOWER

• A Double Award Winner: Cheyenne Spirit captured both the 2013 All-America Selections® Award and the prestigious Fleuroselect Gold Medal, a rare accomplishment that highlights its exceptional garden performance.
• Every Plant Is Unique: Because Cheyenne Spirit is grown from a specialized seed strain rather than cloned cuttings, each plant develops its own flower color personality, making every planting a little different.
• One Plant, One Main Color: Individual plants generally maintain the same primary bloom color throughout their lives. The famous rainbow effect comes from planting multiple plants together rather than from a single plant changing colors.
• Pollinators Can't Resist It: Bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects are frequent visitors to the nectar-rich blooms, helping support a healthier and more vibrant garden ecosystem.
• A Name with a Prickly Origin: The name Echinacea comes from the Greek word "echinos," meaning hedgehog or sea urchin, inspired by the spiny cone that forms the center of each flower.
