Green Jewel Echinacea is a compact freely branching native perennial with strong upright stems that do not need staking and medium green foliage. The large fragrant flowers with light green petals and dark green cones bloom from late spring through summer and can sporadically bloom until frost. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed. Drought tolerant.
