Echinacea 'Crazy Pink' vs. 'Prairie Splendor'

I can't decide between the two. Seems like both provide a long period of bloom and a multitude of blooms. Has anyone worked with both and provide some advice/feedback? Thanks!

RE: Echinacea 'Crazy Pink' vs. 'Prairie Splendor'

Prairie Splendor doesn't have as many blooms but they are larger. Crazy Pink has more smaller blooms. I like the coloring of Prairie Splendor better. It's a seed variety so it's best to pick your plant out of a batch of them in person. Some of them have dark stems. Crazy Pink is a tissue cultured plant so it's more uniform from plant to plant. I'm pretty sure you can order seeds of Prairie Splendor. It's also going to be a better buy.

I think I posted a photo of my Prairie Splendor last year. It was a beauty!
