Common Name: Coneflower Profusion
Echinacea ‘Profusion’ — commonly called Profusion Coneflower — is a vigorous, long-blooming perennial valued for its abundant rosy-pink flowers with prominent orange-brown cones that appear from early summer into fall. Dark green, slightly coarse foliage forms a well-branched, spreading clump and remains attractive through the season, sometimes developing muted tones in fall. Its upright, free-flowering habit produces exceptional bloom coverage, making it a strong performer in borders and mass plantings.
