Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lovely double red anemone-type flowers shoot upward from an upright, well-branched plant. Blooming heavily from summer until frost this compact plant is equally at home in containers or in the border and look great combined with grasses and other summer bloomers. Echinacea in coastal BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils for best overwintering.

Lovely double red anemone-type flowers shoot upward from an upright, well-branched plant. Blooming heavily from summer until frost here in Oregon, we have found these equally at home in containers or in the border, finding them particularly useful in front of grasses to cover ungainly "feet".
