Echinacea Big Sky™

Echinacea Big Sky™ 'Summer Sky' PPAF

Purple Coneflower

Another in the Big Sky™ series from Itsaul Plants, Summer Sky™ ('Katie Saul') has large flat-topped flowers with orange cones and ray flowers that fade in pastel shades from orange to pink like a summer sky at the end of a long hot day. Though delicate in color and fragrance, these strong plants hold up very well and produce long sturdy stems that last as cut flowers.
