Echinacea ‘Gemini Pink’
Double rows of pink, pointed petals surround the dark orange cone like a tutu on a ballerina. Plants are well-branched and produce lots of medium-sized flowers. The rounded foliage is a deep green. Grows to about 30 inches in height. Use en masse for the border, in a mixed bed, and as a cut flower. Echinacea in coastal BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils for best overwintering.
