Cheyenne Spirit Echinacea

Cheyenne Spirit is a seed-raised coneflower mix whose individual plants can produce orange, scarlet, red, rosy-red, yellow, purple, cream, or white flowers. Its summer-to-early-fall display and upright branching habit work well in sunny borders, mass plantings, and mixed containers; [PanAmerican Seed and Fleuroselect describe its color range and growing profile](https://catalog.panamseed.com/view/445948364/137/). ## Planting and season Place it in full sun or light shade, leaving room for an established clump. Size reports vary with growing stage and source: published heights span about 16–32 inches and widths about 10–30 inches. The large blooms are useful in a cut-flower garden, and the mix attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Its warm colors combine naturally with grasses and other late-season perennials. ## Water and bloom care The breeder describes Cheyenne Spirit as a low-water perennial. Water new plants regularly while they establish, then adjust irrigation to rainfall and soil drainage. Normal garden soil is suitable when it drains well. Removing faded flowers can encourage additional bloom; leave some seed heads standing in winter if you want birds to feed on them. ## Maintenance
