In this video, we discuss the results of an Echinacea trial performed by the Mt. Cuba Center. They have evaluated Echinacea since 2002 and recently completed their newest trial including the newest hybrids adding a best for pollinators element.
NOTE: Peak Bloom Sun Garden Tour almost ready!! (And I will add plant names!)

Also, we see what varieties of Echinacea attract the most pollinators in my zone 5 garden as well as new additions and how they measure up to the trial results. I also discuss an issue with some of my Echinacea blooming without petals and out of panic, pull a BUNCH of plants! See why and the outcome! Gardening sure is fun! ;-)
