Garden Plant: Ruby Giant Coneflower
Ruby Giant Coneflower
Product Description: Ruby Giant Coneflower
Giant 7″ Rubies!
Coneflower Ruby Giant, Echinacea purpurea \’Ruby Giant’, boasts absolutely huge 7″ flowers with petals that remain flat and do not droop like other common Echinacea.
Combined with its sweet fragrance and rich, rose-red color, the butterflies and hummingbirds will love \’Ruby Giant’. The colorful blooms tower high above lush mounds of dark green foliage! When done flowering, the huge seedheads look wonderful in dried flower arrangements.
The dead flower stems will remain erect well into the winter and, if flower heads are not removed, are often visited by goldfinches and other birds to feed on the seed.
For best results, plant \’Ruby Giant’ in full sun in a well drained area. It is a great choice for cut flowers, and it adds a wilderness look to your garden.
Not only is it a prized perennial for many gardeners, but it is also said to be a potent medicine. Echinacea is said to increase immune system function, reduce the effects of colds and flu, and fight off viral, bacterial and fungal infections.
With its long summer to fall bloom period, \’Ruby Giant’ will make a bold and bright addition to any sunny garden!
