Echinacea ‘Delightful Sol’ – Coneflower
Echinacea ‘Delightful Sol’ is a vibrant, sun-loving perennial celebrated for its cheerful golden-yellow petals surrounding a prominent orange-brown cone. Blooming from midsummer well into autumn, it brings long-lasting color, structure, and pollinator appeal to borders, prairie-style plantings, and cottage gardens.
Reaching 18–24 inches in height and spreading 16–20 inches wide, ‘Delightful Sol’ forms sturdy, upright clumps with lance-shaped, deep green foliage. Its daisy-like blooms stand proudly on strong stems, making them excellent for fresh or dried arrangements. The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, while the seed heads provide winter interest and food for birds.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this drought-tolerant perennial is low-maintenance and ideal for sunny mixed borders or wildlife-friendly gardens. Once established, it’s highly resilient to heat and dry conditions.
Deadheading spent blooms encourages prolonged flowering, but leaving some seed heads adds ornamental value through the colder months.
Flowering Period
July: First blooms open, brightening the summer garden
July – September: Peak flowering, continuous vibrant color
October: Late blooms fade; seed heads remain as sculptural accents
With its sunny tones, robust habit, and exceptional garden performance, Echinacea ‘Delightful Sol’ offers a burst of warmth and seasonal continuity from high summer into the heart of autumn.
