Terra Nova Nurseries has introduced a new high performing variety, Echinacea 'Fried Egg'. "The new echinacea lives up to its name with a cheerful egg-yolk-yellow center surrounded by crisp white ray petals, and each bloom evoking the look of a farm-fresh egg. The new variety will is designed to plant in beds, borders, decorative containers and other spaces."
"Echinacea 'Fried Egg' produces an abundance of two-tone, long-lasting flowers that deliver lively color all summer long. This sweetly fragrant variety blooms from July through October, boasts a tidy mounding habit and is highly attractive to butterflies and other pollinators. It reaches a height of 10", width of 14" and flower height of 16"."
Terra Nova's latest variety grows most actively in summer and requires low-water usage. USDA Hardiness Zones for 'Fried Egg' are 4-9. "Finishing growers should allow this variety to dry moderately between waterings in the greenhouse. The finish time from a liner to a 4-inch pot is six to eight weeks; finish time from a liner to a 1-gallon pot is 12 to 14 weeks."
