Description
If you’re looking for a statement piece to update your garden’s wardrobe this season, then look no further than this effortlessly stylish little number, Echinacea purpurea 'Green Jewel'! Green flowers are so hot right now, but with a timeless elegance too – and do you know what the best thing about them is? Darling, they go with absolutely everything! This fabulous variety showcases central flower cones in a chic shade of lime, flaunting a skirt of lace-edged green petals, to turn your borders into catwalk this summer.
Echineaceas are famously low-maintenance, and the showy 'Green Jewel' is no exception to the rule. They do prefer full sun in exchange for the best display, but don’t require a lot of water, making them ideal for a dry garden or prairie border. Poor, gravelly soils are perfect for them, the strong stems don’t require staking, and you don’t need to worry about feeding (in fact, very rich soils may cause their growth to become overly long and droopy), so you can sit back, relax, and watch the show!
