OTHER: Cheyenne Spirit is truly a delight to behold. I admit, when I first read about these I was skeptical about the claims of their being multiple colors of flowers on 1 plant, but it couldn't be more true. The first time I saw one in all its glory blooming like a rainbow at a garden center, I immediately fell in love & have been obsessed since :)

Not only do they have multiple colors of flowers on 1 plant, the variation in the shades they come in is incredible. The blooms can be anywhere from white to cream, soft buttery yellow to a bright school bus yellow, & so on. They come in every shade of pink, red, orange, & purple that there is, often in stunningly gorgeous dreamy tropical sunset tones, & some are even have streaks on the petals or fades. Each is unique & just as beautiful as the next! The blooms go through some wonderful color changes too. From my experience, those that start out a blazing red will slowly fade to a delicious raspberry color & the other colors do magic too. They really put on quite a show. They have a very long bloom time with each flower lasting weeks (they are an excellent cut flower!) & new blossoms opening regularly. Cheyenne Spirit was bred to have more branches than a standard coneflower, so there are even more blooms. The flowering period lasts a good 2 months, mine have gone on longer until the freezes become too much. Mine have multiplied nicely each year too & I couldn't be more thrilled! Cheyenne Spirit even blooms the first year from seed, woo hoo! I should also mention that it is an AAS Winner as well as a FleuroSelect Gold Award Winner.

The large 3 - 4" showy flowers of the Coneflower will attract bees, birds, & butterflies. In fall when the flowers go to seed I often see Finches, Sparrows, and other birds perched right on top enjoying their favorite seed snack. It is a delight to watch! Echinacea is also coveted for its herbal medicinal properties.
