Big Sky™ Series Coneflowers

This new Big Sky TM series of echinaceas comes from Itsaul Nurseries in Atlanta, GA. The Saul brothers, who own the company, are going Cone Crazy™!!! These new selections are the result of crosses between E. purpurea and E. paradoxa. They have inherited the dominant characteristics of E. purpurea, having fuller, toothed leaves and wider flower petals. They are well-branched and are vigorous growers.

Water Use: Moderate. Follow a regular watering schedule the first growing season to establish a strong system. After the plant is established, water deeply and less frequently.  Do NOT over water.  They do not like wet feet!

PPAF.  Unauthorized propagation prohibited.  Patent tag included.  All royalties have been paid.

Height        24-30 Inches       Spread  18-24 Inches     (unless otherwise noted)       USDA Hardiness Zone  4-9
