PR07136 DOUBLE DECKER
Purple Coneflower Seeds
The expected single coneflowers appear the first year but the big pay-off comes in years 2 and beyond when a high percentage of the flowers appear as 'twins' adding interest to their impressive summertime show. Monarch butterflies perching on these unique flowers is a memorable sight. Sturdy stems make them excellent and distinct cut-flowers.
PR00826 MAGNUS SUPERIOR
Purple Coneflower Seeds
The intense lavender-pink blooms hold their petals in a near horizontal position. Compared to Magnus, Magnus Superior has a deeper flower color, larger cones, and a growth habit which is more uniform. Among the very best of perennials. Highly recommended.
This new introduction is the longest blooming Purple Coneflower and the first to bloom 100 percent from seed the first year. Huge 4-6 inch rose-pink flowers appear in June and continue until frost, a first for echinaceas. All this on compact, well branched, easy to grow 2 foot plants that are perfect for borders and unmatched in containers. A 2007 Fleuroselect Gold Medal winner (Europe's top prize).
