experience with Echinacea purpurea PowWow Wild Berry

Last weekend I saw some PowWow Wild Berry at our local Lowel's store. Very nice color which is a little intense than the regular purple cone flowers. One of the website indicated that it has very long blooming time (~ 4-5 months per GreatGardenPlants), well ranched and relatively compact (within 2 ft). I know I am running out of space to plant so something else has to go. But has anybody have experience with it?
Thanks.

They are great. They are as good as advertised.

My experience is as echinacemaniac has described ie 'as good as advertised'

Only had it since last year, but very pleased with it.
So far, a tidy little plant with a long bloom time.

Thank you all for the feedback. I will go out tomorrow and get the plant. Just need to figure out where to put it.....

I started Echinacea PWWB from seed last year, and they bloomed this year. I would agree with others, they are a compact and bushy Ech. with lots of blooms.

I reserve further judgement however - my Echinacea didn't exactly have a banner year. Almost all the plants were transplanted to new locations this past Spring. Partly to fill in where the voles had wiped out the original plants, partly to plant out a new bed. They are still getting established.

I started them from seed last year, they bloomed the first year and were gorgeous, unfortunately this year they were hit with aster yellows and were yanked. Guess I'll be starting some more next year.
