    'Ruby Giant' was the first Echinacea bred for multi-branched, strong flower stems which boast huge 5" wide fragrant blooms. This clonal selection from the original 'Rubinstern' seed material has a double row of petals held horizontally for maximal impact. 'Ruby Giant' has become the industry standard for garden worthy Echinacea breeding. Blooms all summer into fall.
