Echinacea 'After Midnight'
Common Name: Hybrid Coneflower
Echinacea ‘After Midnight’ — commonly called After Midnight Coneflower — is a compact, long-blooming perennial valued for its rich, deep rose-purple flowers with prominent dark cones that appear from early to late summer, often extending into early 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 strong stems make it excellent for both garden display and cutting.
