Adding a new color to the spectrum of double Echinaceas in the CONE-FECTIONS™ Series, this fresh marmalade orange variety is a terrific addition to the series.
Strong, well-branched stems carry the fragrant blossoms from about mid-June into August. Depending on environmental conditions, the flowers can range in color from tangerine orange to golden orange. They all make delightfully long-lasting cut flowers.
‘Marmalade’ PPAF is an interspecific hybrid that was developed by master hybridizer Arie Blom of AB Cultivars of The Netherlands who also brought us popular hybrids such as ‘Hot Papaya’.

Coneflowers like it sunny and hot. Though they will tolerate light shade, fewer flowers will be produced and the plants will be weakened. Light, loamy soils are best but coneflowers will grow in any well-drained soil. Once established, they are quite drought tolerant. If properly cared for, they will form attractive colonies and will live for many years.
