Echinacea Pixie Meadowbrite PP 18546
(syn: Echinacea ‘CBG Cone 2’) Echinacea ‘Pixie Meadowbrite’ is the third release from Dr. Jim Ault’s breeding program at the Chicago Botanic Garden. This new coneflower is the result of an intentional horticultural menage a trois with Echinacea purpurea, tennesseensis, and angustifolia. The result is a charming 18″ tall x 2′ wide compact clump, composed of sturdy flowering stems that end in mid-sized, flat-petaled, pink flowers that bloom all summer…a real winner and hummingbird treat! Since it was given the illegitimate name of CBG Cone 2, we have renamed it using their illegal trademark name of Echinacea ‘Pixie Meadowbrite’ as the cultivar name.
