There’s not much to say about this photo except yes, the flower really is that bright. I had difficulty capturing this flower’s in-your-face, glowing, neon red-orange, “I can’t believe it’s that fiery” color on my camera until I got this glamour shot in the fading light. This coneflower will seriously rock your garden world. It’s tall, robust, and the color makes it worth every penny of the exorbitant prices you will probably pay for this newer hybrid at the garden center. This plant will make people who care nothing for gardening ask you what that flower is. There are many coneflower hybrids to choose from, and many are nice, but not all live up to their billing. This one does and then some.
