Echinacea Bravado: A Bold, Vibrant Garden Favorite

Echinacea Bravado: A Big, Bold and Vibrant Garden Favorite

Echinacea Bravado is a stunning and robust variety of coneflower, known for its bold, deep red-purple flowers with prominent, coppery-orange cones. This perennial beauty stands tall at 3-4 feet and adds a striking pop of color to any garden. Bravado's large, daisy-like blooms are perfect for borders, cut flower arrangements, or attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

The rich, vibrant colors of this Echinacea variety make it an excellent focal point, whether planted in clusters or paired with other native perennials. It's a resilient and low-maintenance plant that thrives in a variety of conditions, from full sun to partial shade, making it an easy choice for gardeners of all levels.

  • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors in late fall for natural stratification.
  • Bravado thrives in well-draining soil and requires moderate watering once established.
  • To encourage continuous blooms, deadhead faded flowers regularly, or allow seed heads to attract birds during winter.
  • Divide every 3-4 years to keep plants healthy and vibrant.

With its striking color and versatility, Echinacea Bravado is a fantastic choice for adding drama to your garden while supporting local pollinators. Its beauty and easy-care nature make it a favorite for gardeners looking to make a statement with minimal effort.
