Echinacea ‘Tangerine Dream’
*** PLEASE NOTE ***

Everything a great garden plant should be. Elegant 4″ clear orange flowers have wide, overlapping petals. The bloom color holds better than any we have ever seen and the flowers have a lovely honey scent. This is in our landscape series due to its size and multiple, wide-branching strong stems. Super for the sunny landscape, in mass or in a mixed planting. Great for cutting. Received the highest rating at MSU for container culture.
