I find this flower very pretty; but you describe it as orange whereas in the pictures I see it in a beautiful shade of red! So, red or orange?

Description
Echinacea SunSeekers Orange is a compact cultivar with flamboyant orange flowers, featuring narrow and trailing petals around a prominent brown-orange centre. Slightly fragrant, it attracts many pollinators. It is an interesting variety due to its floribundity and its ability to thrive in flower beds and pots. Its flowers appear on the plant for several weeks in summer. It is an easy-to-grow perennial that blends well with other plants in the garden or on the terrace. Ideal for cutting or drying.
Echinacea SunSeekers Orange is a recent horticultural hybrid. This cultivar belongs to the remarkable SunSeekers series, which stands out from other echinaceas with their unique shapes and colours that do not fade over time. The SunSeekers also have exceptional vigour, producing masses of flowers on short stems above narrow dark green leaves. This Orange variety forms a dense and compact clump, reaching a height and width of 50 cm (20in). The plant exhibits excellent durability. The opposite lanceolate leaves are dark green and covered in rough hairs. The abundant flowering occurs from July to September and is loved by butterflies. The branched stems each end in a solitary head with a prominent, bristly central disc of deep orange-brown surrounded by narrow and trailing ligulate petals of flamboyant orange. The fruit is an achene that releases sought-after seeds for birds. This plant firmly and deeply anchors itself in the soil with its well-developed root system.
Echinacea SunSeekers Orange can be grown in pots or in open ground. This perennial can be placed in the borders of flower beds, mixed with other varieties of Echinaceas, or alongside Inulas, compact Tritomas, Achilleas, daisies, Echinops, Coreopsis... Lighten up the scene by mixing in some ornamental grasses such as Stipa tenuifolia. The beautiful colours of echinacea are also lovely in fresh or dried flower arrangements.
A medicinal plant: In homoeopathy, the root of echinacea is used to fight colds and strengthen the immune system. These properties were first used by Native Americans. The name Echinacea comes from the Greek echinos, which means "hedgehog-like" or "spiny," and acea, which means "having the shape of," referring to the appearance of the flower's centre.

Planting and care
Echinacea SunSeekers Orange sometimes takes time to settle as its growth is rather slow. However once in place, it requires no particular care and is very resistant to pests and diseases. It is best planted in spring, in a sunny location, in a mixture of compost and garden soil. The soil should be deep and loose to accommodate its root system. Remove faded flowers as they appear to prolong flowering. Divide the clump when flowering slows down. It is a rhizome plant that can become invasive. As the plant ages, it becomes more susceptible to aphid attacks and powdery mildew. Mulch the base in May to keep it moist in summer, as it is sensitive to drought during flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
