types of coneflowers
I have 3 different types of coneflowers: purple, yellow (Goldsturm), and orange (Sunset?). The purple I put in 2 years ago, and just isn't growing. It is still less than 5-6 tall with only 2 leaves, and surprisingly bloomed one pathetic flower. It still looks like the day I brought it home from the nursery.
Purple Coneflower, Black Sampson, Hedge Coneflower zones 4-9 : Description: The long-lasting extra large pink flowers are held at the end of straight, stiff stems that are good for cut flowers. A very nice plant for the back border. Some flower arrangers pull off the petals and use only the decorative cones! Bloom Color: Dark Pink
