I have 7 or 8 coneflowers and this is my favorite! The color is fabulous.

It is also a stable seed strain, meaning you are likely to get the same attributes from its seedlings. This is an improvement on the species in many ways: more compact, more floriferous, bright unfailing color.

I am so impressed with the green jewel and bubble gum that I will be adding a combination of five more along a short walkway we need to fill in-I would love to add the double decker in this space as well, but they would end up blocking the view of my beautiful stargazer lilies if they indeed reach their supposed height of 36-40”. As far as growth, so far the Kim’s knee high and pow wow have topped out at 10” in growth, the bubblegum and green jewel have their highest blooms at 13” and the double decker is standing tall at 19”-this is all at six weeks after planting happy plants from the nursery that started about three quarters the size they are now. I was hopeful for the pow-wow to perform, but have not been yet impressed, although this may be my placement as it receives the brunt of the runoff from watering and the harshest amount of sun, but I will give it a shot for next season. It has doubled on one bloom so far and I can see the formation of another set of doubles on a second bloom. It has only three blooms and two buds, but has absolutely performed its duty-contrary to some other reviews I have read. The double decker is by far the most interesting. read more each other, which I do not like in a coneflower. Kim’s knee high also has multiple blooms, but I do not find them as color rich or as interesting as the others-they sort of sit on top of. The bubblegum has a very unique shape as well as a beautiful color, the green jewel is interesting because there just are not that many green blooms around (other than some of my hydrangeas). All are happy and healthy, but my best performers by far are the bubblegum and green jewel producing multiple blooms with no end in sight as I see buds way down the line. All have been well watered and in a good mix of well-drained soil receiving full sun with harsh afternoons. The list includes the Double Decker, Green Jewel, Double Scoop Bubblegum, Kim’s knee high and the Pow Wow. I planted five Echinacea varieties just this late spring (about six weeks ago).

Other plants for partial shade are Amistad Salvia with violet purple spires, Miss Manners Obedient plant with white flowers that look like snapdragons, Our Lady of Guadalupe Rose that blooms prolifically and grey owl junipers. It's hard to find flowers that thrive in partial shade, but Pow Wow loves it. It's full of blossoms that last a very long time. Our alkaline, clay soil was amended with compost and sandy loam. I transplanted it just inside the drip line of a row of Eleagnus that I trimmed into small trees, so it is in partial shade. In the direct, hot sun, the Pow Wow leaves burned. My bed has partial sun in the front of the bed, 4 hours of direct sun mid day, dappled shade the rest of the day.
