Coneflower Marmelade's Characteristics



Coneflower Marmelade

Echinacea

Echinacea purpurea 'Marmalade'

(Ek-in-AY-Shee-a) (PUR-PUR-ee-uh)

Another Coneflower new for 2011 Marmalade has a unique color. The large flowers are fully double with many petals. It is a flower that we look at different colors depending on lighting with tangerine, yellow and pink tones. Appears robust and the mother can bear heavy flowers. This plant was developed as part of a series of cone-fections by AB-Cultivars in the Netherlands. The flowers are fragrant (not seen) and work as well as cut flowers.
