Echinacea ‘Supreme Cantaloupe’ USPPAF
Blooms of Bressingham

‘Cantaloupe’ is absolutely the color of a ripe cantaloupe — there's nothing else like it. This first-year flowering perennial features double anemone, non-fading blooms that last from summer into fall. Young flowers look like a brown-eyed, double gerbera. As the flowers expand, they take on more of an echinacea look. A heavy bloomer with strong color saturation and large flowers, branching is superior to many coneflowers in the market. ‘Supreme Cantaloupe’ has strong, non-floppy stems and reaches a flowering height of 29 inches, foliage height of 26 inches and width of 15 inches. This full-sun, drought-tolerant variety is hardy to Zones 4 to 9 and comes to Blooms of Bressingham from Terra Nova Nurseries, known for its world-class echinacea breeding.

Colors: The color of a ripe cantaloupe
Uses: In mass, mixed beds or borders and a great cut flower. Drought-tolerant and deer-resistant.
Plant Habit: Full, well-branched and compact
Crop Time: From plug to gallon, approximately 12 to 14 weeks; from plug to 4-inch pot is 6 to 8 weeks
