Butterfly Kisses Double Coneflower - Echinacea - Gallon Pot

Echinacea purpurea 'Butterfly Kisses' PPAF. So compact and strong-stemmed. 'Butterfly Kisses' is the latest and most exciting Echinacea of a series by the same name. Introduced by master Dutch breeder Arie Blom, it will wow you with its fragrance, its double-flowered blooms, and its compact stature. How exciting -- a new Echinacea so beautiful and tidy that we can squeeze it into our already crowded sunny borders! Just 18 inches high in full bloom, 'Butterfly Kisses' bears its giant 3-inch pompons on extra-sturdy stems, held straight up for maximum showiness. The plant reaches only 14 to 16 inches wide, so if you've got a foot of bare soil receiving sunshine and decent drainage, you can grow 'Butterfly Kisses'! If not -- well, this Echinacea is so compact that it would do nicely in a patio container, too! Expect 'Butterfly Kisses' to begin flowering when the summer really begins to heat up, and to continue through the end of the season. Long-lived, highly adaptable, and resistant to everything from heat and humidity to poor soil and drought, this is one tough cookie in the sunny garden! And it's perfect for smaller-space gardens where other Echinacea will not fit. Deer leave this Coneflower alone, while butterflies and bees flock to it during summer and birds visit after its seed-filled cones have dried out in autumn. Such a pleasant addition to any part of the garden, it's particularly effective in a meadow setting, among wildflowers, or beside garden paths, where its beauty can be enjoyed up close. It also makes great cut-flowers for the vase. Zones 4-8.
