‘Rocky Top’ is a Tennessee coneflower seed cultivar
that typically grows to a compact 24-30” tall. It
features daisy-like coneflowers (2-3” diameter) with
well-spaced, upward-turned pink rays and black central
cones. Flowers bloom from June to August with some
sporadic later bloom. The upturned ray flowers of E.
tennesseensis distinguish this species from other
Echinaceas which generally have reflexed ray flowers.
Narrow, lanceolate, dark green leaves (3-5” long). The
dead flower stems will remain erect well into winter
and, if flower heads are not removed, may be visited
by goldfinches looking for seed.
