| Description | Fiesta provides a riot of color with spicy coral-pink flowers that age to softer shades. New flowers emerge throughout summer, providing a lively display. A cutting garden essential, and perfect for containers or borders. Leave dried flower heads on the plants in the fall for an added architectural element in the landscape. An herbaceous perennial. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Late spring through fall |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Herbaceous |
| Special Features | Easy Care, Waterwise, Attracts Pollinators, Fast Growing, Compact Form, Benefits Birds |
| Problems/Solutions | Deer Resistant, Drought Tolerant |
| Growth Rate | Fast |
| Flower Attributes | Flowers for Cutting, Fragrant, Long Bloom Season, Showy Flowers |
| Patent Act | Asexual reproduction of plants protected by the Plant Patent Act is prohibited during the life of the patent. |
| Landscape Use | Border, Container |
| Design Ideas | The quintessential component of the American meadow and prairie garden. Blend with grasses or nestle into streambed banks at boulders for a wild garden composition. A valuable late season bloomer for the traditional perennial border. A superior pick-me-up for tired foundation planting. Equally well-suited to casual country gardens along picket fences or in mixed borders. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter. |
| Flower Color | Pink |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Companion Plants | Russian Sage (Perovskia); Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia); Salvia (Salvia); Catmint (Nepeta); Shasta Daisy (Chrysanthemum); Sedum (Sedum) |
| Care Instructions | Requires well-drained, fertile soil. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, prefers regular water but tolerates periodic drought. Remove spent blooms to prolong flowering season. Prune back old foliage and apply fertilizer in early spring before new growth emerges. |
| History | This new Echinacea cultivar is part of the Evolution™ series, an exclusive set of seedling selections originating from Echinacea 'Cheyenne Spirit' from Ball Horticulture, which is a segregating mix protected under a breeding method claim in U.S. Pat. No. 7,982,110, characterized by single-type inflorescences having a wide range of flower colors and moderately vigorous, upright growth habit. The new cultivar 'Balevoesta' was discovered as a whole plant and selected during June 2014 in a controlled environment in Dayton, Oregon. The new cultivar displayed a novel combination of characteristics including unique ray floret color and size and growth habit. In-vitro shoot propagation starting in April 2015 in Dayton, Oregon demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type, with all of its distinguishing characteristics retained through successive generations. U.S. Plant Patent #31,029 was issued in November 2019. |
| Lore | Echinacea purpurea, the parent of all contemporary hybrids is a native of the American prairie. Echinacea root was discovered by Native Americans within its range for healing properties. In recent years science has confirmed that the root contains chemicals that stimulate the immune system. Coneflowers are part of the American prairie plant communities and are a well documented bird habitat plant.The genus name Echinacea is derived from the Greek word (echino), meaning "spiny", due to the spiny central disk. |
