Maui Sunshine is a new coneflower variety that offers everything you would desire in a coneflower and more! Echinacea Maui Sunshine puts on a show all summer long with stiff-stemmed flowers that hold their petals upright. The large bright-yellow flowers of Maui Sunshine are sweetly scented and very floriferous. This vigorous plant is well-branched with strong, upright stems, and responds well to mid-season trimming. Echinacea Maui Sunshine also makes a great cut flower and is ideal for drying. The showy orange cones are tinted with green, and the stiff, upright petals produce a nice cut flower for use in fall decorations. A full-sized plant for the middle of the border, Echinacea Maui Sunshine excels over 'Mac'n'Chees' producing large, more fragrant flowers on stiffer stems all summer long. Dead-head Maui Sunshine during the summer to prolong the flower show.
- CULTURAL NOTES: Native to North America's open woodlands and prairies. Prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Can be divided but do it gently: Once established Coneflowers resent being moved.
- NOMENCLATURE NOTES: 'Echinacea' (Genus name from the Greek echinos: sea urchin or hedgehog, referring to the seed cone.) Gallon pot
Echinacea Maui Sunshine Planting Tips:
- When planting Maui Sunshine make sure you leave enough room for it to grow up to its mature size. Dig your planting hole 6 inches deep for a 1 gallon container and leave 18 inches on either side for future growth.
- Do not cutback in the fall, rather leave the seed heads intact for wild birds to use as food in the winter.
- Fertilize once in the spring and again in the summer with a slow release, low nitrogen organic fertilizer.
- Pair Maui Sunshine with Nepeta Walker's Low Catmint for continuous flowers all summer long.
