Echinacea
Green Jewel
This
incredibly unique Echinacea was discovered by Piet
Oudolf and introduced through Future Plants. 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.
Praised for their cheerful brightly colored
flowers, coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden.
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.
