Echinacea purpurea 'Green Twister'

Echinacea purpurea 'Green Twister' is a striking and unique perennial known for its bi-colored blooms. Each daisy-like flower features a greenish-yellow halo around the edges of its petals, fading to a rich magenta-pink near the spiky, orange-brown central cone. The plant has sturdy, upright stems with lance-shaped green foliage, making it an excellent choice for adding vibrant, unusual color to gardens and borders.

This robust and easy-to-grow coneflower thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soil and is drought-tolerant once established. It attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies and provides seed heads that are a food source for birds in the fall and winter. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continued blooming, but leaving some seed heads can add winter interest and help naturalize the plant in the garden.
