Echinacea Art's Pride

I like the colour of this one, i keep looking at it, to buy !!

I've loved this since it appeared, but I never seem to be able to get them to grow a second year

Really ?
Hmmm, that's not good then, so treat it like an annual Grindle ?
Dotty, is it meant to be hardy ?

Grindle now that is a worry...........

I f you use your scroller on the mouse quickly so you see the full picture then to half way down the flower it looks like its moving ...
Amazing photo DottyD

it should be hardy, but I've found the purple and white ones aren't so tempremental

I will let you know, I am taking all the plants out and potting them up to overwinter as we are changing the top of the garden, Gardeners world.....Toby said to cut it down? so might try that.

I was watching that, and found it interesting as I have some new heleniums, I'll be interested to see what happens, I have 'green envy' which is struggling, so I'm going to dig it out today and pot it up, as I really don't want to lose it.

Grindle good idea, its very disappointing to loose a new or even an old plant.Mushy B thanks and your right it does........
