Echinacea purpurea ‘Vintage Lime’

Echinacea purpurea ‘Prairie Blaze ‘Vintage Lime’ is a coneflower with eye-popping single, broad petaled, bicolour flowers with pink petals and contrasting lime-green tips around a dark brown central cone. Tons of flowering stems rise 14 – 16 inches above lance-shaped green foliage all summer long until frost. Part of the Prairie Blaze series bred for novelty colours, mass production, compact habit and first-year flowering. 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. Attracts pollinators. Deer resistant.
