There’s a garden party happening in one of my beds, and only ladies wearing fuchsia were invited.
Echinacea ‘Southern Belle’ party
Echinacea ‘Southern Belles’ provide a pink parade in my bed of greens and yellows. While these ladies are dainty, they are far from demure. Tall, confident and color-rich, they knock the observer out with a powerful hot pink punch.
My ‘Southern Belles’ started blooming in early July, and, “well, bless their hearts,” they promise to keep the color going all summer long.
A closer look at the pink skirt on Echinacea ‘Southern belle.’
Their most striking feature, “if I do declare,” is their flat ray petals that stick out from beneath full magenta cones like fancy party skirts. This new double coneflower selection from Plant Nouveau’s Cone-fections series has pronounced Echinacea tennesseensis blood that promises “extreme vigor, amazing bloom power and super long life.”
I’m tickled they brought their garden party to my house.
Where can I buy some of the Southern Bell Echinacea? I have checked at all my local nurseries and can’t find it. I see only wholesalers online.
Hi, Diane! I got mine from Plants Nouveau during a Garden Writers conference. Here is their contact information – I bet if you send them a note you can get some information on where to buy Echinacea ‘Southern Belle’ in your area. http://www.plantsnouveau.com.
