Another impressive Big Sky™ Coneflower, a delightful pastel two-tone (the first of its kind). The petals feature pale coral-orange tips shading to reddish pink at their bases, and are centered around an orange cone. Summer Sky™ is not only large flowered and prolific, but the most fragrant of this series with stout stems ideal for cutting. 'Katie Saul' (PP 18,783)
A North American genus, Echinacea 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 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.
