Beautiful color for a beautiful banner! Around here, our coneflowers are only purple (Echinacea purpurea), but that pink color is very pretty on a coneflower; it would be nice if we could have both. Perhaps I should see if the local nursery has pink coneflower seeds…

I've seen a similar color to this one for sale and have been tempted. Beautiful banner!

I love Cones and all the gorgeous colors they come in now. I love the originals and the fact that they have such a medicinal value and are a lovely flower to boot! Excellent banner!

Thank you!! Yes, this coneflower is beautiful! They open as a bright pink, then turn a deep burgandy. Sooo pretty. Last year I save a bunch of seeds, and planted them. Nothing grew, but I didnt take care of them as I should have. It was my 1st time....I will try again in spring.
I really want to get the bright orange colored ones!!
