Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Like its cousin, 'Quills and Thrills', 'Ferris Wheel' has a strong, wagon wheel petal pattern with fluted petals. Emerging pale cream, the flowers develop a bright lemon coloured lip as they age. 'Ferris Wheel' features a stout, multi-crowned habit, and a very high flower count offering colour and interesting texture. Fragrant. Echinacea in coastal BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils for best overwintering.
