Terra Nova Nurseries has announced its newest addition to the esteemed Echinacea Delightful Series, with Echinacea Delightful 'Prosecco', a celebratory coneflower that pours out double yellow blooms like fizzy sunshine. The new variety, like the other echinaceas in the series, is bred for the pot crop market and ideal for container plantings, mixed beds and border edges.

Echinacea Delightful 'Prosecco' grows with a stout, bouquet-style branching habit and boasts golden pom-pom flowers perched atop sturdy, upright stems. The bubbly beauty's anemone-type flowers shift from bright lemon to soft ivory and radiate warmth and cheer as they bloom from June through October. 'Prosecco' is deer-resistant and highly attractive to pollinators and hummingbirds; other special traits include low-water usage and being heat- and humidity-tolerant.

Delightful 'Prosecco' thrives in full sun and grows most actively in summer, reaching a height of 14", width of 16" and flower height of 16". Terra Nova's breeding team recommends allowing this perennial to dry slightly between waterings during finishing time in the greenhouse. Finishing growers can expect the finish time from a liner to a 4-inch pot to be six to eight weeks; finish time from a liner to a 1-gallon pot is 12-14 weeks. USDA Hardiness Zones for Terra Nova's seventh addition to the Echinacea Delightful Series are 4-9.
