PRIMA Tiger Coneflower (Echinacea PRIMA ‘Tiger’) PRIMA Tiger Coneflower (Echinacea PRIMA ‘Tiger’) is a true dwarf, heavy blooming coneflower celebrated for striped, tiger toned petals in fiery orange with ember undertones around a warm copper cone. From early summer into fall it delivers bold, sunfast color and clean foliage on naturally compact, well branched plants – perfect for small gardens, front borders, and patio containers. Distinctive Features Large, saturated petals open bright orange and mature through amber and honey shades without fading, while short internodes create a dense, uniform mound that resists flopping. Continuous bud set sustains flowers for months. Nectar rich blooms draw bees and butterflies; dried cones add texture and provide natural seed for finches late season. Growing Conditions Sun Exposure: Full sun for best flowering; light afternoon shade is acceptable in very hot climates. Soil: Well drained garden soil; adapts to loam, sandy, or lightly rocky sites. Water: Moderate; water to establish, then allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. USDA Hardiness Zones: 4 to 9. Mature Size: About 12 to 16 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide. Ideal Uses Focal Point: Tiger toned blooms light up the front of beds with glowing contrast. Containers: Naturally compact habit is ideal for patio pots and balcony planters.
