Echinacea Sombrero 'Baja Burgundy' (Echinacea x hybrida 'Baja Burgundy') is a striking perennial coneflower renowned for its vibrant, rich burgundy-red flowers measuring about 3 inches across. This compact and sturdy plant produces numerous upright flowering stems adorned with overlapping petals surrounding a dark chocolate central cone, creating a vivid floral display from early summer through late summer, sometimes extending sporadically until frost. Growing 18 to 22 inches tall and nearly as wide, it offers a neat mound of dark green foliage that contrasts beautifully with the deep blooms, making it ideal for small gardens, containers, and borders.
