I really liked the color of this coneflower variety, so I planted several of them in 4 different locations around my yard. All of them had leaf spots and barely bloomed at all. I tried various remedies over about 3 years and eventually dug them all up and tossed them. I've gotten to be very hesitant to plant any of the newer varieties and will probably stick to the older ones.

Deep purple-red petals that fan around the center instead of drooping down. Closer to red than any other variety. Height 35".
