New Echinacea from Piet Oudolf

As the name suggests, green is a theme, with a green cone as the centrepiece within a ring of white petals that also sometimes show a green tinge.  

E. 'Jade' is also distinguished by the outward, rather than drooping habit of the petals that Piet has been working to achieve.
