They are tempting for sure. I am an Echinacea purist, but these look very nice.

Wow mistascott...can you give us the details of this amazing picture?

I have them and Hot Coral & Salsa Red are great. They smell good too.

That is what they look like en masse at my local nursery.

ech how long have you had yours and if more than a couple of seasons have they kept their vigor?

It is my understanding that this is the first season for (widespread) availability of the "Sombrero" coneflowers.

First season...but I can tell already they have lots of branches at the crown which means better survival over winters. The blooms are not distorted or randomly quilled like some other varieties. These are tough just like the Pow Wow plants. I'll update my comments next spring, but I am already impressed with them.
