SunSeekers is a coneflower series comprising of many flower colours, all of which are stunning, rich, and non-fading. Plants have exceptional vigour and dense habit.
SUNSEEKERS Red coneflower is a true showstopper as it does look like the brightest traffic light red. You simply have to stop to admire its beauty and rich colour. SunSeekers coneflowers have strong and rather short stems with dark green, narrowly lanceolate leaves. Bred by Jelle van den Haak from the Netherlands in 2013, and patented as PP28825 in 2017.
Flowering begins in early July and continues until early autumn. If you have seedlings you can expect flowers from the first year. They attract butterflies, bumble bees, and bees, too, can find a way to suck some nectar from them. Regular deadheading will promote formation of new buds and flowers.
The plant is usually trouble-free and resistant, just be careful if slugs are present in your garden. Since coneflowers emerge quite late, often when slugs are already in their lethal strength, they could gobble up newly emerging foliage totally and thus destroy the plant before it even comes out.
