Echinacea 'Delicious Candy'
Echinacea 'Delicious Candy', also known as 'Noortdeli', features exceptionally large, brilliant magenta, double pom-pom blossoms that maintain their color throughout a long season. This compact coneflower is perfectly sized for the front of a garden border. As a North American native, it thrives in average soils or hot, dry conditions and is cold-hardy. The flowers are excellent as long-lasting cut flowers, and the mature seed heads provide nourishment for birds like goldfinches. This variety is deer resistant and attracts beneficial insects.
