June 2022 update; our perennial grower chose a really fun new variety this season… it’s called Green Twister.  The large blooms start out a vibrant green, then as the bloom matures, a pinkish-red halo forms close to the center. The blooms can be as large as four inches in diameter!

Our PowWow White (large pure white flowers with a yellow center),  PowWow Wildberry (fade proof rosy purple flowers from early summer to fall, compact size) and Cheyenee Spirit coneflower varieties are blooming nicely right now as well.  Cheyenne Spirit features a broad range of bloom colors including shades of red, orange, purple, scarlet, cream, yellow and white.
