Absolutely! Watch for Echinacea Magnabrite Orange. Yes, the flower is orange
and it has the fragrance of honey tea. This is coming out of the Chicago
Botanic Gardens where they've been testing and breeding echinacea. I saw the
flowers last summer and they're beautiful. I think I read somewhere that Wayside
will be carrying it. I have one that was a gift and the leaves are still green,
even though we've had freezing temperatures and some snow here in the
Cincinnati area.
