General Information
Sombrero Salsa Red Coneflower is a beautiful plant that can be placed into many landscape settings. With the smaller size of this plant, it can be placed in containers or in some sort of tight spot where another plant may be too large. The leaves of this plant can grow up to 7 inches long. They are ovate in shape, and have a medium green color. The flowers grow on sturdy stems above the foliage. The flower petals have an orangish-red color with upwards of 24 petals on each flower. The center of the flower is a brown colored cone, in the shape of a sombrero. The flowers bloom all summer, and even sporadically until the first frost. The center cones contain seeds, which is an attraction for birds during the winter time.

We treat your plant
like it's ours
- Before your plant leaves our greenhouse, it’s wrapped and supported to handle the journey ahead. Pots are sealed to prevent spills, plants are gently netted and staked for stability, and boxes are packed with biodegradable peanuts to absorb movement along the way. Thoughtful packaging helps your plant arrive happy, healthy, and ready to grow.
When your plant
arrives
- Plants may show signs of stress after shipping, such as bent stems or drooping leaves. This is normal. Prompt unpacking, proper watering, and a short recovery period in the shade help plants rebound quickly. Avoid heavy pruning and give your plant time to adjust as it establishes in your landscape.
