We selected Once in a Melon due to it's consistent color and large blooms. 5 to 51/2 inch flowers emerge yellow, but quickly fade to a paler yellow color with hints of cantaloupe. Horizontal pedals and yellow cones provide a consistent blanket of pastel color that makes pinks, purples and blues pop or gives a multi-hue glow to other yellows, oranges or reds. Plants are consistently sized, and flowers are a medium height at 24-26 inches perfect for the middle of a border garden.
When we select echinacea, we focus on disease resistance, consistency, and display. the COLOR CODED® series are propagated from tissue culture to ensure they are virus free and very consistent in shape and height. Strong stems keep the flowers upright after wind or rain.
Coneflower, also known as echinacea, is a wonderful perennial native to the U.S. midwest and prairies. They are a late season pollinator magnet and do best in a light loamy soil, but can thrive in any well-drained soil. Full sunlight and heat are best for full flowering, while they can tolerate some light shade, we recommend at least 6 hours of full sun each and every day. Once established they are very drought resistant making them a great plant for those looking for a low water/ low maintenance garden. As a perennial flower, if cared for correctly echinacea will return with new growth each year.
