Panama Rose coneflower

Panama Rose Coneflower is a compact, clumping Echinacea selection with rosy-pink flowers and a darker central cone. A nursery profile lists it at about 14 inches tall and 16 inches wide, with flowering from spring into fall. Its size and long season suit sunny borders, containers, and pollinator plantings. ## Garden use The exact-selection profile describes a first-year-flowering perennial with rosy-pink blooms, a 14-inch height, and a 16-inch spread. It lists full sun to part shade, USDA Zone 5, moderate water, and attraction for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. A second nursery describes Panama Rose as a compact plant with rose-pink flowers from early summer through fall, supporting its use for extended warm-season color.

The nursery profile lists drought tolerance, so established plants can handle periods between rains better than constantly thirsty border plants. Use it near a path, patio, or mixed perennial bed where the rose-colored flowers remain visible. ## Maintenance Water regularly during establishment and during prolonged heat; avoid keeping the root zone saturated. Remove spent stems as the display fades if you prefer a tidier bed, and leave healthy flowers in place when pollinators are active.
