description

The ‘Paradiso’ coneflower mix brings a vibrant and colorful scene to the garden, where large flowers of varied hues bloom in succession for many weeks, carried on strong and elegant stems. This robust perennial quickly transforms a flower bed into a luminous haven for pollinators, also attracting hummingbirds when in full bloom. Highly valued for its prolonged flowering, it combines natural beauty, excellent cut flower retention, and a striking presence in country or contemporary settings. Easy to cultivate, it adapts to many well-drained soils and reveals its full potential in full sun, in fertile, deep, and loose soil. Once well established, it tolerates drought admirably, making it a valuable ally for resilient gardens and more demanding sunny spaces. Its upright habit fears neither wind nor high temperatures, and its faded flowers left for a while can even extend the visual interest of the garden at the end of the season. Sown indoors or directly in the garden according to the chosen schedule, it requires little care but generously rewards the attentive gardener with abundant and long-lasting blooms. It is an ornamental, ecological, and versatile perennial plant, perfect for creating a garden teeming with life and rich in colors year after year.
