Echinacea

I have various kinds growing in the garden. Have put many of the new ones in such as Green Envy, Art's Pride, Sundown and this year Hot Papaya (yet to flower) but the old ones are the toughest! One of my favourites is Ruby Giant. They have all resented the dry summer but hope for better things next year! Another observation is that they need room so I will have to remove some other plants which are in danger of crowding the echinaceas out.

Some of the new ones weren't too keen on last winter's frosts either!
