ECHINACEA (CONEFLOWER) Sun to part shade Zone 3-9 Praised for their large, daisy-like flowers which appear from mid through late summer, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. If deadheaded, the bloom cycle will be extended. However, some spent blooms should be left on the plants in fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter. Echinacea attract butterflies like no other plant' FUN FACT: The word "echinacea" comes from the Greek word "echinos" meaning "hedgehog", referring to the flower's spiky central cone. |

'GREEN ENVY' Echinacea Purpurea 'Green Envy' was developed by Mark Veeder. The petal tips hold their green color for up to a month. Then the magenta streaks down in thin veining until the whole flower, center cone and all, takes on a purplish tone. An entire sequence of bloom from one plant! Echinacea 'Green Envy' is as easy growing and free flowering as traditional coneflowers. It also makes a wonderful cut or dried flower, for arrangements. 36" high. |

'GREEN JEWEL' This incredibly unique Echinacea was discovered by Piet Oudolf. Light green ray petals surround the large, green cone of this fragrant coneflower. The plants have an upright habit and a height of just 20-24 inches, so no staking is required. Be sure to leave some spent blooms on the plants in the fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter. |
