Echinacea 'Fatal Attraction'
With all the wacky things that plant breeders are doing to Echinacea, I still prefer the plain old Echinacea purpurea 'Magnus.' But then I came across Echinacea 'Fatal Attraction' and I knew I needed to loosen my conservative kravate. This plant was introduced by my guy, Piet Oudolf. The blooms are purple just as they open and then become an intense purplish pink. Although still in full bloom in my front yard now on November 1, I'm not sure if that's because I planted these in late September, or if they would normally be blooming now. We'll find out in a year.
