Mini Belle Echinacea, Coneflower Mini Belle, Echinacea 'Minbel252', Cone-Fections Series
Echinacea Mini Belle (Coneflower) is a compact perennial boasting a profusion of bright pink double flowers with pink tutu ray petals surrounding a deep, fuchsia pink central pom-pom. Blooming from midsummer until early fall, this dwarf coneflower is perfect for patio containers, small gardens and perennial borders. Excellent for cutting.
Echinacea, commonly called Coneflower, has been cultivated as a hardy and showy perennial since the 1700s, both in North America and Europe. Truly an American plant, native to the central and eastern part of the country, it was used by the early Native Americans to cure wounds and infections. A great prairie flower, its bright and large blossoms made a successful transition to the backyard. Traditionally purple, with ray flowers that droop downward off the central cone, Coneflowers today enjoy a rich variety of colors and flower shapes with ray florets held horizontal, single, or even doubled, giving them the look of Chrysanthemum. Easily grown from seed, they thrive on neglect.
