The Fuchsia is Bright Echinacea is a well-branching native perennial with strong upright stems and deep green foliage. The large bright fuchsia pink flowers with dark cones and stems soften with age, and bloom from mid summer into fall. If deadheaded, the bloom can be extended to frost. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed. Drought tolerant.
