Echinacea ‘Piccolino’
A compact floriferous dwarf double Echinacea growing to only one foot high. The fully double flowers are glowing deep pink with a green centre which eventually turns pink and forms a pom pom of petals. Fragrant and reblooming. Wonderful planted en masse and superb 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.
