Pink Double Delight Coneflower. I like it so much, I went back and got another one. The tag said the more you deadhead, the more it blooms, and it really does. It only gets 18-20 in. tall so it's a good size for the front of beds. Attachments:   |

Thank you Chatty and bensmom! I ordered one from an online garden site, the other I found at the nursery right up the road from me a month later. We were out taking a drive in the country one day and stumbled onto a family run nursery which they started on their farm. The guy loves coneflower and specializes in them. I was so excited because conefowers are my favorite perennial beside Phlox. The Pink Double Delight is a fairly new one. I think this is the second year on the market. |

Very nice, thanks for sharing. I like them too and supposely had gotten a rasp color one I think it was but it came up purple this yr. Got to look back at the tag. i planted white seeds that a friend gave me 2 yrs ago and it bloomed this yr for the first time and it was purple. i want to get some different color ones. The supposely white ones I winter sowed and they did well grown from seed. Save some seeds, sure would love to have some. Thanks |

I'll be saving seeds for sure. I have white swan also and have seeds already saved for it. And....Sundown, and Sunset too. I don't see much difference in the 2 of those, but it seems Sunset bloomed better. That might be because of where I had them planted though. Here's pics - Attachments:   |

I don't have much luck with mine either. They look good in the spring but then the leaves brown and they never rebloom, though they get buds. Maybe they just need to settle in. |
