ECHINACEA tennesseensis 'Rocky Top' (seedlings)
|
Description: This selection from the federally endangered species is one of the most beautiful and distinct coneflowers, despite the myriad new introductions of late. It grows in a neater, tighter clump, with smaller, narrower, and distinctly hairy leaves with a shorter overall height to about two feet. The hairy leaves impart a fuzzy, grayish cast to the whole plant. The numerous ray flowers are pink and the petals are cheerfully upturned from the horizontal, just the opposite of most E. purpurea cultivars, whose petals droop. These are our own seed-grown plants from the cultivar 'Rocky Top'.
