Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Echinacea purpurea 'Green Envy' is a peculiar coneflower with rounded, green petals and green cones for a considerable period. As the flower matures the petals gradually elongate taking on a magenta veining near the cone which also turns purplish. This will be one of those plants to show off to your friends. Plant in full sun in average (not overly rich), well-drained soils. Avoid soils that are overly moist in winter.

Exquisite pale green flowers emerge from buds on 30" stems. A purple blush develops at the base of the dark cone as the flowers mature. Fragrant!

PPAF. This is one way cool, hot off the presses plant! introduced by New York party planner Mark Veeder. New petals on this flower open a luscious light green, starting in mid-June, and slowly fade to a pinkish purple over time. Grows to 30 inches tall and is easy in full sun with some summer water. Frost hardy to -30 °F, USDA zone 4. A must have for the summer garden border.
