We are very excited to be offering
this brand new introduction of the Echinacea Big Sky series. For the past 10 years Richard Saul of Itsaul Plants
in Atlanta GA has focused on hybridizing Echinacea plants. His passion and hard work
has paid off with one of most popular groups of plants we have ever seen - The Big
Sky Series of Echinacea hybrids. Sunset displays a brand new color for
Echinacea's plus a heavenly sweet fragrance. The flowers measure 4 inches across
with vibrant orange petals surrounding a large prominent brown cone. Unlike older
forms of Echinacea the petals do not fold downward, instead they stand straight out, more
like a daisy. Sunset is a powerful bloomer as well - exploding with bloom after
bloom from early summer right up though mid autumn. Butterflies flock to this plant
and seem to be just as excited about an orange coneflower as perennial gardeners. We also offer another Echinacea from the Big Sky Series -
a wonderful yellow named Sunrise.
Plants need full sun to really show off and are not finicky about soils as
long as it is not soggy. Seed heads attract foraging birds so leave a few when
cleaning out the garden.
Very Limited Supply - order early
