Echinacea' Cheyenne Spirit'
The Cheyenne Spirit was introduced by Kieft-Pro Seeds in 2012. This coneflower won a 2013 AAS (All-America Selections®) award and a FleuroSelect Gold Medal for its garden performance. In the first year, various bloom colors are available, including purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, cream, or white ray flowers with brown cones. This plant grows 2 to 2.5 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide.
There are seven species of Echinacea in North America, all endemic to eastern and central regions. Coneflowers usually bloom from June to August, with some sporadic blooms later in the year. Butterflies and other insects love it. Flowers are good, fresh or dried. The dead flower will remain upright until winter; if you don't remove the flower heads, goldfinches and other birds will visit the blackened cones.
It grows in average soils with dry to medium moisture and well-drained drainage in full sun to part shade. It is best in full sun. This adaptable plant tolerates drought, heat, humidity, and poor soil. Divide clumps when they become overcrowded (about every four years). Plants rebloom well without deadheading. However, promptly removing spent flowers encourages continued bloom and improves general appearance.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
