favorite echinacea zone 4?

14 years ago

Hi all,

I am in a zone 3 and have tried a few echinachea over the years but can't remember half of what I've tried. The ones that are doing well are magnus and razmatazz (this one is gorgeous). I did have 'white swan' for several years, then it died on me. I'm loving this perennial and would like to know what cultivars you have tried in and around zone 4. I figure I can grow zone 4 (maybe 5) plants with all the mulching that I do.

Not sure about zone 3, but I'm rather fond of 'Fatal Attraction' and 'Pink Double Delight'

My favourite is 'Kim's Knee-high' but I also like 'Fatal Attraction' and 'Sunrise'.
