From the Big Sky Series of Echinacea. Introduced by ItSaul Plants of Atlanta, Georgia, Echinacea Harvest Moon 'Matthew Saul' has beautiful golden flowers reminiscent of the color of a harvest moon. A vigorous grower, flowers have slightly reflexed overlapping petals. Loves heat and at least 4 - 6 hours of full sun per day. Attracts butterflies and birds.
A wide variety of wild growing Echinacea was used medicinally by Native Americans. Today herbalists most commonly suggest its use to relieve symptoms of the common cold.
An impoved version of the older Kims Knee High coneflowers Red Knee High has deeper colored more vivid flowers but the same shorter plant habit. Actually I learned that Red Knee High is a sport of Kims Knee High. While I have both in my garden and like them both I do prefer the more vivid coloring of Red Knee High.
I really love the colors on the bloom of this fancy new echinacea. Last spring I planted well over a dozen but unfortunately the plants died over the winter.
Rita, located on the north shore of Nassau County Long Island, NY zone 6/7 where it is humid in the summer.
This was the first year I could find plants of Pow Wow Wild Berry at the local nurseries, and I promptly bought and planted them. They came into bloom shortly after planting and just kept on, and on, and on blooming: blooming all summer long into September. I didn't have to do anything to them to keep them in bloom. No deadheading, nothing. Now all I have left are the dead flower seedheads on the plant and I will see whether it self seeds some new plants for me.
Leave the seed heads after they flower instead of cutting back to attract Goldfinches. They love to eat the seeds of coneflowers. Magnus is a proven variety I have had in my garden for many, many years.
Pink Double Delight is a beautiful little ech. Shorter than many others, it stands up much better than my taller echs, which get knocked over in storms. This little beauty has never needed staking in the two years that I have had it in my zone 6 yard. (Many of my taller echs do require plant supports.)
