Description / Echinacea 'Fatal Attraction' Coneflower
Add vibrant color and pollinator appeal to your garden with Echinacea 'Fatal Attraction.' This native wildflower grows into a bushy, upright clump 18 to 24 inches tall and blooms from summer through early fall. Its fragrant, daisylike flowers feature striking magenta petals framing a bronzy orange cone, all held aloft on dark, sturdy stems. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees flock to these blooms, while the seed heads provide a snack for songbirds as the season winds down. Ideal for bouquets, the long-lasting blooms make an eye-catching addition to floral arrangements.
A variety of Echinacea purpurea, commonly called purple coneflower, 'Fatal Attraction' is an herbaceous perennial for Zones 3-8. Perfect for native wildflower gardens, native plantings, or pollinator habitats, it's also a natural fit in cottage gardens, beds, and borders. It pairs beautifully with black-eyed susans, Russian sage, salvia, and catmint for a charming, layered look.
This rugged plant thrives in sunny to lightly shaded spots with well-drained soil. Tolerant of poor soil, drought, and heat, it requires little care once established and resists deer with ease. Let the blooms self-seed naturally to enjoy new plants year after year or remove spent flowers for a tidy appearance.
Plant 'Fatal Attraction' echinacea roots in spring, spacing them 12 to 18 inches apart and planting 1½ to 2 inches deep.
A true native to the central and southeastern United States, purple coneflower grows wild in meadows, prairies, and open woods. By planting natives like this, you'll encourage biodiversity, provide essential resources for pollinators, and enjoy a low-maintenance, eco-friendly garden.
