Echinacea 'Eccentric'
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners seeking vibrant, pollinator-friendly summer color.
This hybrid turns the standard coneflower into a high-impact spectacle that shifts from deep purple to fiery orange-red. It sacrifices the wild, spindly look of traditional varieties for a dense, double-bloom structure that stays remarkably resilient against heat and neglect.
