Notes
'Vintage Lime' coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Vintage Lime') is a perennial with pink flowers tipped in lime green. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average soil. The flowers surround a dark brown cone and bloom from early to late summer, and bees visit them. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Flowering stems rise above lance-shaped green foliage until frost.
Pairs well with Blue grama, Honey Gold peony, and Limeglow creeping juniper.
