The world of Coneflowers continues to get more interesting as breeders tease out new colors and forms and even fragrance. Richard Saul of Itsaul Plants in Atlanta, Georgia has been in the forefront of this “cone craze” with his Big Sky™ series. We offer two of his recent releases as a duo that will look well planted together or separately in your garden. Echinacea Big Sky™ 'Sundown' PPAF features orange petals around a brownish cone, while E. 'Harvest Moon' PPAF holds its beautiful, golden yellow petals around a golden orange cone. The blossoms are full and fragrant and continue for weeks. One plant of each.
Echinacea, a North American genus in the Daisy family has big, bright flowers that appear from late June until frost. Plants thrive in average soils or hot, dry conditions and shrug off cold. Blooms last well cut or dried, and the seeds in the large cone at the heart of the flower head provide nourishment for birds. We offer exciting new hybrids and excellent strains of Purple Coneflower, E. purpurea, a rugged species that is native from Iowa and Ohio to Louisiana and Georgia. Equally at home in formal borders or cottage gardens.
