Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Darkest pink, double, feathery pom-poms decorate the centre of each flower, surrounded by a broad brim of candy pink petals. A full-sized plant with strong stems for the middle of the border. Mix with pink coreopsis for a one-two pink punch plus blue ornamental grasses and a back drop of white dragon, Persicaria polymorpha. Echinacea in coastal BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils for best overwintering.

BRIGHT (gum-drop-bright) candy-pink ?petals? are topped by a deep-fuchsia-pink pom-pom center almost as big as they are; in a vase or in a border, this 3 footer will make a cheerful statement. S/M PPAF PVR

HUGE, dark pink, double, feathery pom-poms are held over broad pink petals on strong stems. A full-sized plant for the middle of the border. We're used to people fawning over our plants, but this one got extra points for cuteness. A killer combo is to use 'Gum Drop' with pink Coreopsis and blue ornamental grasses.
