Pink Poodles or Parasols


Coneflowers come in so many different shapes and colors these days. This one has a frilly pink center like little Victorian parasols. It is available at the Morton Arboretum Plant Sale. Members must order online by April 13th. Visit their website, www.mortonarb.org for more information.

Love that blossom! I've never seen that type here in Sweden. Very pretty.

Hi Nikkii,
It is a pretty new one here. Coneflowers have really broken out of their pink and purple standard colors. We have all sorts of different sunset colors and even a chartreuse green one called Green Envy. None of the new ones are as good as the original natives for drawing butterflies and bees though.
