Hot Papaya Echinacea is a freely branching native perennial with strong upright stems that do not need staking and bright green foliage. The fully double fragrant flowers have drooping orange-red petals with pom-pom like center cones and bloom from summer into fall. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The double flowers may attract less butterflies and bees, but spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed. Drought tolerant.
