Description

Vigorous growth with excellent heat and drought tolerance, this variety features beautiful large, and bold fuchsia colored petals surround a coppery-orange cone; easy to grow, excellent for borders, beds, containers or wildflower and cutting gardens

Ornamental Features

Magnus Coneflower has masses of beautiful lightly-scented fuchsia daisy flowers with coppery-bronze eyes at the ends of the stems from mid summer to mid fall, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its large pointy leaves remain green in color throughout the season.

Planting & Growing

Magnus Coneflower will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity extending to 3 feet tall with the flowers, with a spread of 24 inches. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. As an herbaceous perennial, this plant will usually die back to the crown each winter, and will regrow from the base each spring. Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen!
