Can anyone give me the "proper" name for an Echinacea that has a flower
about 100mm diameter Brownish centre with petals that are purple at the
centre turning to orange/yellow at the tips. I saw this at the National
Botanic Gardens near Cross Hands in South Wales.

Maybe I could get one or two plants or seeds.

Thanks for ay help.

Bill

Try taking a look at E. Green Envy on Google.

Hi Sacha, the picture is the general appearance of the flower, but in life
it might well look a bit different, I shall have to have another look, but
I'm not /that/keen on paying £7 for the experience:-)

If I do I will make sure I get the name on the tag and maybe a photo .

Thanks for your reply.

Bill


I wonder if they sell it in their plant area, you can get into that
without having to pay entry.

I had a quick look on the way out but there wasn't one to be seen -(

Btw, if it's a new introduction and under PBR, it may not be possible
to get seed yet. But the seeds are on sale in USA. However, Jelitto,
for example, doesn't have this one.
