Description
Blue Heron is the bluest pink to date in our echinacea collection. True magenta colored petals emerge with little waves at the end from a velvety red cone. As the petals mature, they firm up and fly straight out of the cone, much like the stiff, yet graceful posture of a Blue Heron. A super strong, vigorous plant with so many flowers, Blue Heron will bring joy to your garden and the pollinators it will feed for months each summer.
