Echinacea purpurea 'Petite Burgundy' ~ Monrovia® SunMagic® Petite Burgundy Echinacea dwarf IMAGE: Photo by First EditionsMonrovia Petite Burgundy Echinacea is a miniature branching native perennial with strong upright stems with tightly packed smaller flowers that look like a bouquet when in bloom. The glowing magenta red flowers with deep burgundy cones soften with age and bloom throughout summer. Thrives in full sun and well drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed. Drought tolerant.
