Sombrero Poco Hot Coral Coneflower

Not all coneflowers play it safe—‘Sombrero Poco Hot Coral’ is a compact firecracker, bursting with intense coral-orange blooms that practically glow in the sunlight. From early summer through fall, this beauty pumps out flower after flower, standing strong on sturdy, well-branched stems that never flop. At just 14-16 inches tall and wide, it’s the perfect fit for containers, borders, and small gardens, delivering the big color of traditional coneflowers in a neat, manageable size. And while pollinators can’t stay away, deer and rabbits don’t give it a second glance. Heat, drought, and poor soil? ‘Poco Hot Coral’ handles it all.
