Echinacea ‘Chiquita’ has large banana-colored blooms and an upright habit. Only 14 inches tall at maturity, the clean deep green foliage covers this plant top to bottom. ‘Chiquita’ is an ideal choice for mixed containers, mass plantings and front of the border. This fragrant echinacea blooms from July to September and is deer-resistant, drought-tolerant and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.

Terra Nova Nurseries has created a plant profile page and grower recipe specific to this new variety, so growers interested in possible liner orders can learn about growing habits, plant characteristics, fertilization recommendations, water requirements and other insights provided by the breeding team.
