To quote Donna, "it's a sickness"
Jan. 27th, 2006 12:54 pmWe're making an order to Plant Delights. I've got four things so far, and am trying to decide between a selection of the new hybrid echinaceas.
My list so far:
Hemerocallis 'Autumn Minaret'
Eupatorium fistulosum, giant joe-pye weed
Hemerocallis 'Tetrina's Daughter' (no picture, but the description is in the middle of this page
Yellow Russian hollyhock
And I'm trying to decide between these:
Echinacea 'Evan Saul'--it's orange, what's not to love? (E. purpurea backcrossed with E. paradoxa a few times.)
Echinacea purpurea 'Fragrant Angel' -- a white echinacea, but fragrant, and nice form
Echinacea purpurea 'Vintage Wine' -- a really rich color, also fragrant
cross)
Echinacea 'Sunset' -- another lovely lovely orange. I've seen this one in person, and it really is that color. (Another E paradoxa hybrid.)
What do my peeps think of any of these?
Donna's drooling over this, saying "it's a nasty looking thing, and I've just gotta have it."
Edited to add: I decided on Echinacea 'Evan Saul', because it's orange, and I just can't resist.
