Overview
Echinacea SunSeekers® 'Tequila Sunrise' is a compact coneflower selected for its warm, sunset-inspired flower colours and reliable garden performance. Strong, upright stems carry large daisy-like blooms with golden yellow petals, flushed with rich red-orange around a prominent central cone, creating a striking display from mid to late summer. This well-branched cultivar remains neat and compact, making it equally suitable for garden borders or larger patio containers.
Why We Love It
The SunSeekers® series combines vibrant colour with a tidy, compact habit, making it easier to use in smaller gardens and patio planting. 'Tequila Sunrise' brings warm golden and orange-red tones that mix beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias, rudbeckias and other late-summer perennials, while its sturdy stems also make excellent cut flowers.
