Love this plant. It is shorter than most echinacea and well behaved. In full sun it flowered beautifully Great for a small garden. Adapted well to transplanting. It was overwatered by a soaker hose left on and never showed signs of stress. One of my favorites.
Just got this plant last year. Bloomed great through the fall. Leafed out this spring before my regular coneflower and already has a bloom. Of course we've already had several days in the 80's already.
Have to be careful not to over-water, but so far I'm very pleased!
