Coneflower ‘Pow Wow Wild Berry’

Description

‘Pow Wow Wild Berry’ is a purple coneflower that features large, deep rose-purple flowers in a floriferous bloom from late spring to late summer, sometimes with additional sporadic bloom until frost. It typically grows in an upright clump to 2-3′ tall and to 1-1.5′ wide on sturdy, well-branched stems that do not need staking. Each flower features downward-arching, overlapping, deep rose-purple rays which encircle a large orange-brown center cone. The dead flower stems will remain erect well into the winter, and if flower heads are not removed, the blackened cones may be visited by goldfinches or other birds that feed on the seeds.
