At 15-inches tall, Crazy Pink™ is perhaps the shortest coneflower, but in no way does it lack flower power. Crazy Pink™ begins flowering during June and continues until October. During this time, it is smothered in brilliant clear pink petaled, orange coned, butterfly attracting flowers. The flowers are big compared to the plant, and numerous. Older plants may have as many as 100 flowers! It is perfect for containers, smaller landscape beds, borders, and anywhere a big bloomer is needed.

Care
Watering:
'Crazy Pink' Coneflower is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from occasional watering, to maintain soil in a moist but not wet condition, during the summer months.
Fertilizing:
'Crazy Pink' Coneflower is a moderate feeder, benefiting from a couple of annual applications of slow release fertilizer. A spring application of a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet, and during early fall, an application of a 2-1-2 ratio (such as a 10-5-10) can be applied to encourage root development and cold hardiness.
Pruning:
'Crazy Pink' Coneflower should be enjoyed all winter long, then, during early April before it begins to grow again, it should be pruned or mowed back to ground level.
