Re: New Plants for spring

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.

Monrovia nurseries are distributing it widely on the west coast and I believe further east as well. I am on plant number two as the first one I planted last summer disappeared one day - poof! No gopher, no roots, no nothing. It was just gone

Just in case, the second one is planted in a cage.

And it is remarkeable looking!
