ECHINACEA Green Twister. Coneflower.

ECHINACEA Green Twister

Also known as Coneflower.

An entirely new cultivar of the ever-popular Echinacea.

Forms lush clumps of dark green foliage about 1m tall and has an upright growth habit

From June to September Echinacea Green Twister produces a stunning display of daisy-like flowers with bright magenta petals tipped with acid green and a large ginger or burnished orange centre.

The slightly scented blooms are suitable for cutting and/or drying and are also very attractive to butterflies and bees while birds flock to feast on the seed-heads.

Growing just 80cm tall Green Twister is shorter than many other Echinacea varieties and this makes it very useful for growing in the middle of the herbaceous border or in large drifts and is even versatile enough to plant in containers.

Easy to grow in any reasonable fertile well drained soil but dislikes very dry or boggy conditions.

Fully hardy Echinacea Green Twister is a tough plant and like other coneflowers is well able to cope with anything the weather can throw at it except drought.

Requires little attention, cut back all dead flower stems to the ground in autumn and lift and divide overgrown clumps in spring or autumn.

Just like all Coneflowers it will benefit from a mulch of compost or well-rotted farm yard manure in spring or autumn.

The long flowering season makes this one of the best perennials for cutting.

We ask all our buyers to remember Coneflower plants are living items and their appearance changes with the seasons.  Please don’t panic if the plant you receive looks different to the image on the website. This is quite normal and not a matter for any worry or concern, it is likely to be in perfect condition for the time of year. Particularly in autumn and winter many shrubs will lose their leaves and look rather bare, gaunt and stick-like and from August onwards many perennial plants may not even be showing above the soil.

We want you to be happy with your purchase and all our Echinacea are checked and inspected visually before packing. In the unlikely event of a problem please advise us at sales@seedsplantsbulbs.com within 48hrs of delivery.  You can also notify us by telephone at 02879111497 or 02879417038. Due to the nature of the item we cannot accept any responsibility for their failure after planting as pests, disease, poor horticultural practice, extremes of weather and many other factors outside our control all take their toll.
