Terra Nova Nurseries has unveiled Echinacea Princess 'Citrus', the company's newest
© Terra Nova Nurseries, Inc variety, specially bred for pot culture with a naturally compact habit that delivers a compelling, bouquet-like presentation.
Princess 'Citrus', the latest addition to Terra Nova's Echinacea Princess series, reveals a blend of lime green and lemon-yellow hues, all presented on a single bloom. This perennial flowers June through October, with yellow petals gradually taking on a subtle cantaloupe color at the base as the season progresses.
'Citrus' excels in full sun and performs best in average to coarse, well-drained soil; it is also naturally deer-resistant and highly attractive to pollinators and hummingbirds.
