Echinacea Sunset

It doesn't alway have great form, but I love the color. I did try to order Tiki Torch this spring, but it was uanavailable due to crop shortage. So I will hold off and see how it does over all. Of course I got this from Chris!!

This is Sunset which I got from Hallson's last year. I had a Sundown that I had purchased else where that did not survive the winter.

That's really pretty Claudia! :cool:

I've let way too many purple cone flowers (the common ones) go to seed. I need to weed some out and maybe replace a few with some of these newer ones.

They are pretty, but it is trial and error to see which will survive in your particular garden. I would suggest only getting 1 or 2 at a time to try.
