Why you need this plant:        'Tiki Torch' boasts large, bright orange flowers on upright, well-branched stems. Keeping track of new colors in Coneflowers is beginning to make our heads spin, but 'Tiki Torch' looks like a keeper with its shapely skirt of petals and big, rounded cones.

We can imagine pairing the pumpkin-colored blooms with the dynamic purples of Salvia 'May Knight' or a multitude of Daylilies;

Planting Info:       Thrives in average soils or hot, dry conditions, shrugs off cold, and is equally at home in full sun or partial shade. Blooms last well as cut or dried flowers, and the large cone at the heart of the flower head turns black as the seeds mature, adding further interest and providing nourishment for birds.
