Echinacea 'Marmalade' PPAF
Common Name: Marmalade Coneflower
Echinacea ‘Marmalade’ — commonly called Marmalade Coneflower — is a long-blooming perennial valued for its large, semi-double to double flowers in warm shades of tangerine-orange, often with darker central cones, appearing from early summer into fall. Dark green, slightly coarse foliage forms a sturdy clump and remains attractive through the season, sometimes developing muted tones in fall. Its upright, well-branched habit and bold, glowing color make it a standout in borders and pollinator gardens.
