Cherry Brandy
Velvety petals in rich cherry-brandy tones—glossy, warm, and unmistakably luminous—give Cherry Brandy Coneflower its signature presence in the garden. At maturity, the blooms form sturdy, upright cones with a softly layered, daisy-like flare, offering a satisfying texture that holds its shape through breezy summer days. Grow Cherry Brandy for long-lasting ornamental color in borders and cottage beds, where its bold, upright silhouette becomes a seasonal focal point from midseason onward.
