This is one cool looking echinacea. Lime green buds emerge catching the light with a neon glow above darker green foliage. Within a few days, bright pink centers radiate out from the disk, putting a spin on the traditional coneflower look. This nativar flowers in late summer and is a huge hit with butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. At 2 to 3 ft. in height it makes a great mid to back planting in a bed or an eye catching bouquet when purples or pinks are involved. With it's height, green twister can also stand alone in a naturalized area.

Echinacea 'Green Twister' - Coneflower
Coneflower, also known as echinacea, is a wonderful perennial native to the U.S. midwest and prairies. It does best in a light loamy soil, but will do well in any well-drained soil. Full sunlight and heat are best for full flowering, while they can tolerate some light shade, we recommend at least 6 hours of full sun each and every day. Once established they are very drought resistant making them a great plant for those looking for a low water/ low maintenance garden. As a perennial flower, if cared for correctly echinacea will return with new growth each year.
