What happened to our winter dreams?
The plans for deep bold color?
The lust for lusceous leaves?
Blooms galore?
If you have a plant and a nursery that didnt measure up,
Lets hear from you.
My dissapointment is with the variety more than the nursery.
This is Echinacia Summer Sky from a local nursery.
Its fine and subtle peach colored petals are wonderful for 3 days and when it starts to go out of bloom( which takes weeks) it fades to a washed out cream color, check the picture.
Not so the Purple cone flowers also in the picture.
They've been blooming for over a month and tho faded they still look good.
