Echinacea 'Magnus - 3.5 inch Pots (Minimum Quantity: 25 Plants)
Some plants come and go with fashion. Magnus stays—because it does the job better than most that followed.
Echinacea ‘Magnus’ is the classic improved coneflower: broad, rich rose-pink petals held nearly horizontal around a bold coppery-orange cone. The effect is fuller, more deliberate than the older types, and far more visible across the garden. It doesn’t fade into the background—it carries a border with quiet authority.
Plants form sturdy, upright clumps that stand through heat, wind, and long Southern summers without collapsing. Bloom begins in early summer and continues steadily if spent flowers are removed, though many gardeners leave the seed heads to feed birds and lend structure well into winter.
Set it among grasses, mix it through perennial borders, or plant it in drifts where it can repeat and echo. Bees work it from dawn to dusk. Butterflies follow. And when the season turns, goldfinches will thank you for what remains.
