Comment: Solar Flare is one of my favorite Echinaceas. It has beautiful deep red blooms that stand straight out and are complimented by long dark red stems that hold it above the foliage. While the deep red of the blooms only lasts a few days the dark stems contrast nicely while the red blooms fade to pink. My plant has not stopped blooming since it started and I've only cut a few flowers off to bring in. I love the spicy scent too. All in all it will always be a favorite of mine.
