Echinacea P. ‘Green Twister’ 1Gal

Latin Name: Echinacea purpurea 'Green Twister'

Common Name: Green Twister Coneflower

Zones: 3–8

Height & Spread: 24–36 inches tall, spreading 18–24 inches wide

Descriptive Features: A striking natural mutation of the classic 'Magnus,' offering the same superior overwintering hardiness of a non-hybrid strain along with a truly distinctive bloom. Large, 4-inch daisy-like flowers open with vibrant lemon-lime petals that transition dramatically to pale pink and rich carmine-red near a prominent bronze-brown center cone, held horizontally on well-branched, exceptionally sturdy stems that resist flopping even in extreme weather. Blooms from midsummer through fall, often continuing sporadically until frost, with no deadheading required to keep the show going. Coarse, dark green, lance-shaped foliage forms a dense clump. Stems lengthen after the first year, making it an excellent, long-lasting cut flower. Highly adaptable to heat, humidity, drought, and poor soil once established; deer-resistant and a strong draw for butterflies and songbirds, with seed heads relished by birds in fall if left standing. An eye-catching choice for borders, cottage gardens, mass plantings, or containers in full sun to part shade.
