Just this summer. planted in the spring. has flowered all summer long. Hope it over winters. will throw some fleece over it and mulch with grit for drainage- just in case. Thanks for your comments.
Thanks for your comments Christina. It likes being on the dry side. winter wet wouldn’t suit it. Have planted mine in plenty of leaf mould with lots of grit for drainage. I’m very fond of green flowers too. Very useful for setting off the more exotic colours in the cut flower patch.
Thanks Jo. Yes, still got my pinking shears. Hoping to have more time for sewing over the winter months. All kinds of renovations and new fabrics for the house 🙂
That is just the most lovely colour. I love green flowers – stunning

What an enchanting colour. I was wondering about overwintering too. Good luck with your protective measures.

Wow! I love it, but it is too dry for Echinacea here unless in the cut flower beds – ah! there’s a thought, I love green flowers.
