new echinacea cultivars

17 years ago

Hi

I am a garden writer and I am writing an article on the new echinacea cultivars. I would love to hear from people who have grown them in the past 2 years. I am focusing on the new Meadowbrite series (Orange Meadowbrite and Mango Meadowbrite), the Big Sky series (Sunrise and Sunset), Twilight, Harvest Moon, and Razzmatazz, Fragrant Angel, and Pixie. Let me know if they have flowered for you, was the height acceptable, and did they have fragrance and anything else you can think of.

Thanks

I ordered sundown and sunset g=from wayside gardens the first year they were available. I won't tell you how much I paid for them, (a hefty fee!) I think they are soso---I was disappointed esp with sunrise--It was not very yellow in my opinion
