Orange coneflower's abundant "black-eyed susan" style flowers make quite a splash in the late-summer rain garden. Despite the name, they are much more yellow than orange. Compared to showy coneflower (R. fulgida var. sullivantii), this one needs more consistent moisture, has slightly smaller flowers, and tends to spread more rapidly.

Uses: Rain gardens, cut flowers, butterflies, deer resistant, bees
Bloom time: August - September

Height: 20 to 30 inches
Space: 16 to 20 inches

Sun: Full sun to light shade
Moisture: Average to moist
