Good Qualities
Year 1
Beautiful rich color (3); Good stem length; Extra large flower; Dark wine-colored stem, petals flare out, rather than droop as regular echinacea does, cone was not enlarged as in other echinacea, customers loved the color, and reported that it held up well – 7 days or more; Petals stand out rather than drooping, good flower size; Petals with good substance and horizontal, color deeper than straight species and to my eye, more attractive.
Problems
Year 1
None (2); Short this year, I’m hoping for longer stems next year.
Insect or Diseases
Year 1

Comments
Year 1
My favorite echinacea so far (but that isn’t saying too much). Approximately 30% of the plants died by the end of the summer.
