eh-kih-NAY-shah 'Fiery Meadow Mama'

Deciduous Perennial Upright, Clump-Forming in the Asteraceae Family
Fiery Meadow Mama Coneflower blazes with golden-orange petals ringed by a fiery red halo around a dark center cone, blooming from midsummer into fall.

Part of AB-Cultivars' Meadow Mama series from the Netherlands, Fiery Meadow Mama produces golden-orange ray petals with a vivid red halo at the base, surrounding a dark center cone.

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

No Pricing or Availability Right Now

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
