What customers say
Enthusiasm centers on the unique aesthetic of the Green Twister coneflower, prized for its striking green and pink coloration that adds garden texture. Customers appreciate receiving healthy, vigorous plants from American Meadows. While dedicated gardeners reward its hardiness and stunning, long-lasting blooms starting in the second season, patience is required. A common point of frustration involves the slow establishment rate; many novice buyers are disappointed by the lack of first-year blooms or small size. Occasional reports note that the signature green twist color can be less pronounced than advertised. Overall, the unique mature plant justifies the initial wait for experienced perennial enthusiasts.
