SunSeekers is a coneflower series of several flower colours all of which are stunning, rich, and non-fading. Plants have exceptional vigour and dense habit. They are bred by Innoflora BV and marketed by Gootjes AllPlant BV from the Netherlands.
SUNSEEKERS PINK is another variety of the famous and popular coneflower. It makes low and compact tufts with light purple pink flowers. They are borne atop 40-50 cm tall stems and appear from July until October. Central discs are deep orange and flat on new flowers, and elevate to typical plump cones hiding plenty of nectar for butterflies, bumble bees as well as bees.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly and feed the plants every two weeks during summer. Leaves are healthy, deep green, and narrowly lanceolate. 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.
Coneflower will tolerate almost any soil type but boggy. It loves full sun. It is suitable for mixed borders with perennials, or can be used as a flowering feature among low shrubs and conifers, and looks lovely when planted in a mass in a container on patios and balconies. Fully hardy to min -34°C (USDA zone 4).
