Echinacea ‘Mac ‘n’ Cheese’

 

You can take comfort with the warm macaroni and cheese coloured four inch blooms. Vigorous, well-branched stems are featured on this upright plant (to 26 inch tall).

Echinacea in coastal BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils for best overwintering.
