Echinacea 'Sombrero Sangrita'
Choose Sombrero Sangrita Echinacea for rich sangria-red daisies on a compact, heavily branched coneflower that keeps flowering without staking; the tradeoff is that it wants full sun and well-drained soil, and like all Sombreros it earns its winter hardiness from drainage rather than mulch.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | Deep sangria-red is one of the harder coneflower colors to hold, and this one holds it well in mass. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It establishes quickly and flowers well in its first full season. |
| Maintenance | A- | No staking, no deadheading required; leave the seedheads up for birds and cut back in spring. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer usually leave coneflowers alone, though they will sample new growth where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A- | The Sombrero series was bred compact and well branched, so it stays tidy in smaller beds. |
| Winter Hardiness | B+ | Reliable here in well-drained ground; wet winter soil is what kills coneflowers, not cold. |
At PGNE, we plant Sombrero Sangrita where a sunny bed needs strong red that comes back year after year. Coneflowers get blamed for being short-lived, and in our experience that almost always traces to drainage — put it somewhere the water leaves, and it will hold its place for years.

It softens somewhat as individual flowers age, which is normal for red coneflowers, but the plant keeps opening fresh blooms through the season.
Leave the seedheads standing for goldfinches and winter interest, then cut back in early spring.
Usually winter wet, not cold. Coneflowers need drainage; heavy, soggy soil is the most common reason they fail to return.

These guys showed up in the middle of a bomb cyclone & planted 18 trees. They are hardcore!
I couldn’t be present when the tree was planted. I was very happy with the tree. It was planted correctly and at the proper height. As an arborist I see trees improperly planted frequently. Thank you!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
