Echinacea ‘Raspberry Lychee’


Hybrid Coneflower

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.650.960


The Smoothie™ series of Coneflower was bred to produce vigorous, compact plants with masses of unique, bi-coloured flowers. This selection produces large, single flowers with white petals surrounding a pink centre. Ideal for sunny borders and growing in mixed containers. Attractive to butterflies. Excellent for cutting. Coneflowers begin blooming midsummer and continue for months if faded flowers are regularly removed. However keeping some dried flower heads on the plants in fall will provide food for wintering song birds. Dried seed heads also add interest to the winter garden.
