New Plants For 2009~ Heronswood’s Echinacea Meringue
I told you the other day how much I love Echinacea, so when I saw this new Meringue variety of Echinacea from Heronswood, I had to spotlight it.
These beautiful flowers were developed in Holland by Ari Blom. As they bloom they start from a daisy like appearance, and develop into the pom poms you see pictured above.
I love white and cream colored flowers in the garden. They’re a wonderful addition to help blend all the colors and contrasts.
They’re similar to their purple counterparts in growth habits. They’re not fussy, drought-tolerant and easy to grow in full sun in average, well-drained soils.
They would make wonderful cut flowers in a vase, and will last quite a while after they’re cut.
What do you think would they make a worthy addition to the 2009 garden?
