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:

  1. 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.
  2. Do not cutback in the fall, rather leave the seed heads intact for wild birds to use as food in the winter.
  3. Fertilize once in the spring and again in the summer with a slow release, low nitrogen organic fertilizer.
  4. Pair Maui Sunshine with Nepeta Walker's Low Catmint for continuous flowers all summer long.
