Description:

32-40” x 18-24” wide, (division propagated). There has been tremendous excitement about the Big Sky hybrid coneflower series recently developed by Itsaul Nurseries of GA. Their breeding program between Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea paradoxa has produced a unique palette of flower colors and forms. ‘Sundown’ is their newest hybrid, released in 2006. It has warm russet-orange flowers with a prominent, brownish central cone. The wide petals are slightly reflexed, and they overlap, giving the blossoms a nice, full look. While the flowers are slightly smaller than ‘Sunset,’Sundown’ is slightly larger and more vigorous plant. The flowers have a light rose-like fragrance. The Big Sky Echinacea all thrive in average garden soils with good drainage. Grown in 5” deep premium pots. Zones 4-9.
