Echinacea purpurea 'Pica Bella'

Echinacea 'Pica Bella' is a top performer in the mid-Atlantic region as rated by the Mount Cuba center in their on-site trials.  The key-points are abundant bloom set, bold colors, and prominent orange cones.  The performance in various trials has shown it is a versatile plant for the full sun garden.   A great choice for naturalized settings, planting en masse, and attracting pollinators to the garden.  Also, a favorite seed of songbirds in the fall.
