Echinacea (Coneflower) :: Ruby Star (Rubinstern)
Product Description
'Ruby Star'Echinacea is similar to E. 'Magnus' in that both varieties of this conflower hold their petals in a refined, horizontal arrangement, not drooping like most of the Echinacea species. However, the petals of 'Ruby Star' are more substantial with a deeper magenta-red color.
Praised for their large, daisy-like flowers which appear from midsummer thru fall, after many other perennials have finished blooming, Coneflowers are a mainstay in today's garden. If deadheaded, the bloom cycle will be extended. However, some spent blooms should be left on the plants in fall because their seeds provide winter food for finches and other birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter.
