Plant Detectives Fragrant Angel Coneflower

Yes, this cultivar is specifically noted for its fragrance. While it won't perfume your entire yard, you will catch a pleasant, subtle scent when you are near the blooms or when you bring them indoors as cut flowers.

No, staking is not necessary. Fragrant Angel is known for its sturdy, upright habit that holds its own even when the flowers are in full bloom, reaching 30-40 inches tall without flopping over.

While it needs moderate watering to get established after planting, it becomes quite drought-tolerant once its root system is settled. You should only need to water it during extended dry spells.

Absolutely. Like most Echinacea, the prominent cone and bright petals are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other essential garden pollinators throughout the summer.

Because of its mature height of 30-40 inches and 24-inch spread, it is best suited for garden beds or borders. If you do use a container, ensure it is quite large and deep to accommodate the plant's root system and provide enough stability.

It is not picky, but it thrives in average, well-drained soil. As long as your garden soil doesn't stay waterlogged or swampy, this coneflower will perform well.
