Prairie Splendor™ Compact Rose Coneflower

Prairie Splendor™ Compact Rose is an Echinacea purpurea selection bred for a smaller upright habit within Syngenta’s Prairie Splendor™ Compact series. Its [official product profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70020723) identifies the Rose selection and describes pink-to-rose flowers with a pollinator-friendly designation. ## Flowers and size The profile lists flowering in mid-spring, late spring, and summer. Plants grow about 14–16 inches tall and 6–8 inches wide, and the listed hardiness is USDA zones 3a–9a. The compact measurements make it easier to place this coneflower near the front or middle of a sunny border without assigning it the larger spread of a standard purple coneflower. ## Siting Grow in full sun. The product is listed as upright, so allow its flower stems to rise above low edging plants and avoid crowding its narrow base. Its named Rose selection is distinct from the Compact Dark Rose and Compact White selections; preserve the complete series and selection name when ordering or labeling. ## Maintenance Allow space for the stated mature size and remove faded stems for a neater appearance. For Prairie Splendor coneflower, the [RHS profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/249928/echinacea-purpurea-prairie-splendor-prairie-splendor-series/details) recommends cutting stems back as blooms fade to encourage further flowering. Local seasonal timing will vary with climate.
