SUPREME™ Cantaloupe Coneflower

SUPREME™ ‘Cantaloupe’ is a distinctive coneflower whose double, gerbera-like blooms open with a dark eye and cantaloupe-orange petals, then broaden into a cone shape as they mature. The strong color and long flowering period suit a bold summer and fall display. ## Site and season Terra Nova lists mature foliage at about 26 inches tall by 15 inches wide, with flowers rising to roughly 29 inches. Its cultivar profile places bloom in July through October and recommends full sun. Proven Winners lists part sun to sun, summer and fall bloom, and a broader 24–36 inch range for both height and spread, so allow for local conditions. ## Garden use Use the flowers in a border, mass planting, container, or cutting garden. The blooms are showy as they open and are reported to attract pollinators and hummingbirds. [Terra Nova Nurseries](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/echinacea-supreme-cantaloupe/) documents the selection and its dimensions; [Proven Winners](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/echinacea/supreme-cantaloupe-coneflower-echinacea-purpurea) provides additional light, season, and garden-use guidance. ## Maintenance Choose a well-drained site with average moisture. Full sun supports strong flowering, while part sun is also listed by Proven Winners. Remove spent blooms to extend the display or leave some seed heads for seasonal structure.
