Soaked roots as instructed. Planted 1 inch below surface. Kept them watered and got nothing. Conclusion that bare roots not worth purchasing. For me their bulbs perform better.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

A year ago I ordered several different combinations of coneflowers. I wanted different varieties-not just the flat pink ones. Most of them are just regular cone flowers and are pink with a couple of orange and white thrown in. I should have just bought the cheaper collections because those are the ones I received for extra money. Live and learn.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

They arrive small but were in bloom by the end of the Summer. I put them in 4 of my matching gardens and I expect them to much taller this year. I ordered more for this year. There are bright orange ones too in the gardens. The orange was between blooms in this garden at time of the photo.

Q
What plants were used to hybridize these? Are they sterile and produce no pollen, nectar or seeds? Why is the native species name used, Echinacea purpurea, when it is clearly not the native species? This seems like fraudulent advertising.
