I am trialing some of the new AB cultivars, echinaceas for overwintering, bud count and color. I am planting E. 'hot papaya', E. 'meringue' and E. 'pink double delight' to see if all are equally as good as E. 'coconut lime' in strength and vigor. I will also do a comparison between 'coconut lime' and 'meringue' for color. If anyone has any comments or info. on these varieties already, please share them.
As a salesman and gardener I thought this would be a good way to keep anyone who was interested up to date on what is going on in the world of bulb's and perennials. If you know me, you know that I am very opinionated. Please don't take these to heart, as I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I would welcome all opinions. I am opinionated but not at all closed minded. Thank You.
