Echinacea




  • I got Echinacea fever this summer .It's rather costly desease and it is contagious.
    I bought quite a few for my garden and also for the
    nursery.
    I still have some left for sale:
  • Meringue
    Firebird
    Flame thrower
    Fragrant Angel
    Hope
    Pink Poodle
    After Midnight
    Milk Shake
    Tiki Torch
    Maui Sunshine
    Gum Drop
    Vintage Wine
    I love them all, but Green Eyes , Hope, and Fragrany Angel are my favorites. The are sturdy, with large horizontal flowers. Angel and Hope have huge cones. They smell like honey, and even fading blooms look good on them.
