This Echinacea will present a season full of orange daisy-like flowers and is praised for its prolonged blooming after other perennials have faded.

This vine is a woody climber that grows up to 30 feet tall with the main stem getting about seven inches wide. This plant flowers best in a full sun location. The rapid growth makes it an excellent plant for covering fences or arbors; clinging vines attach themselves to structures and climbs by aerial rootlets.
