The newest additions to the range, E. 'After Midnight' and E. 'Summer Sky' are expected to be available from 2008.

Echinacea 'After Midnight'  

E. 'After Midnight' is a deeply coloured variety loaded with features which make it unlike any other. It's flowers are formed from broad deep purple-pink petals that overlap around a huge dark red cone. The black stems are remarkably thick and sturdy and the plant is set off with blue-green foliage. All this in a plant which grows to just 20" tall!

Echinacea 'Summer Sky'

E. 'Summer Sky' is the first two-tone introduction! A deep red cone is the centrepiece which holds the petals which are rose-red at the base fusing to peach at the tips.
These plants grow tall and proud, up to 48" in height with the biggest flowers of all the Big Sky series held on very strong stems. The plant's branching habit is the closest to that of the E. purpurea species.
