McKay Nursery Cheyenne Spirit Coneflower

Unlike many coneflowers that bloom in a single uniform color, this variety produces a mix of white, yellow, orange, and red blooms on the same plant. Because it is a seed-grown variety, each plant will offer its own unique, unpredictable color palette.

Cheyenne Spirit is versatile and performs best in full sun, but it can tolerate part sun or light shade. For the most prolific blooming, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.

Yes, this coneflower is considered deer-resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, the texture and scent of this variety are typically unappealing to deer.

Absolutely. These coneflowers make excellent cut flowers with sturdy stems that hold up well in vases. Cutting the blooms regularly can also encourage the plant to produce more flowers throughout the summer.

It is very low-maintenance. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. You can leave the seed heads standing through the winter to provide visual interest and food for birds, then trim the plant back in early spring.

Cheyenne Spirit is hardy in zones 4 through 9, making it a reliable perennial for a wide range of climates across the United States. It is built to withstand cold winters and warm summers alike.
