Who's been involved in growing your 'Vintage Wine'?
Friday, 16 January 2004
Echinacea purpurea 'Vintage Wine' is propagated by tissue culture at the Vitro Westland laboratory in The Netherlands, the place where Hosta 'Christmas Candy' was discovered by Gert van Eijk-Bos. Once the new plants have been produced in the lab, they are then grown outdoors for a season at Aad Geerlings' nursery in Lisse, The Netherlands.
