Echinacea 'Green Envy' (PBR)
coneflower
A most unusual and exotic selection, the broad petals of Echinacea 'Green Envy' emerge from bud a light, lime green and gradually develop a pink flush at their base. To add to the colour fanfare, the prominent central cone also changes colour as it matures, turning from shades of green to purple. Long lasting and held on strong stems, the flowers really are extraordinary.
How to care for Echinacea Green Envy (PBR):
Plant Echinacea directly into well-prepared borders or larger pots and containers, spacing them at 15-20cm (6-8in) intervals. Water well after planting and while they are in active growth.
The seed heads are attractive, and are a valuable food source for birds during the cooler months, so avoid cutting them back (to just above soil level) until late winter. Over time, it will form larger clumps with more flowering stems, so they can be lifted and divided in autumn or spring to maintain vigour and flowering performance.
Taller cultivars in exposed locations will benefit from staking.
