Echinacea 'Primadonna'
Good Qualities:
The plants look very good, robust after planting on July 10, 2005 - a couple even have some buds, but it is too late for them to bloom, they arrived in great condition.
Problems:
Too hot when planted 6/30/05; We got these late and they didn't do much this year.
