Sundown Echinacea (An Investigative Report!)
Comments (92)G'Morning - Got Ech DD ... I'm truly excited she looks so lovely ... the first thought I had was a pic of my dau, tons of years ago, as a Jr-bride's maid, at a wedding! This DD had a crown, so very full w/o covering her entire cone my grand-dau called her, 'Princess' ... several buds in stages should be coming soon!!! ;) I think this $10 - 1gal beautiful lady was a great buy, yes? Mount Hood - would be wonderful as a combo ... Bride & B'Maid, LOL!!! The Nursery had 'K Mophead', I thought about for combo, but I have 9 H paniculatas, all in their white/creamy white show, right now, that I decided against white. They have several shades of yellows & oranges, but as ignorant as I am abt Ech, with a bad experience on Big Sky, I'll wait a while just until concerns (valid or not) clears ... I have 2 huge clumps of Blk E Susies & Coreopsis to satisfy my 'yellow fever' LOL ... too bad 'Lemon Drops' are done. 'Still looking for something complement/separate this Ech DD from my P Cone group ... any thoughts? I appreciate all the edu' from this group!!! ;) TIA! ;) ... Have a great garden day ... this is the last of our unseasonably cool July ... we're headed to real Summer as we know it!!!...See Moreechinecia Big Sky Sundown
Comments (5)Nice plant! I have Sundown too & love mine. I hear terrible things about it, but it has done really well here. Has reseeded quite a bit & all but 2 seedlings-out of dozens-have been the same as the parent....See Morecompanions for Phormium Sundowner
Comments (5)I planted one of these...several years ago and most likely a vivid color..It is now ginormous (6-7ft tall and at least 10-12' or more wide. I've had to move a couple plants and probably more... It has lost it's color..it's now primarily green and yellow with small hints of color. I can't remember what color I got but it wasn't yellow! Probably a wild pink or maroon. I just came across a review somewhere that says they do loose their color once they get big!! Damn it...here it is a huge architectural piece in the front of my house with out the color I expected..so be warned..If I remember correctly they loose the color when allowed to be themselves and grow wild..but not in pots. I live in Oregon south of Portland and everything grows big here....See Morefrom 79 to 44 degrees since sundown
Comments (4)Same here in Colorado. Woke up to 14 degrees F. Last night there was a solid iced over section of road with a down hill slope to it.....the car in front of me decided to slow down to 5mph and the weight of my vehicle kept it going forward. I went around to the left and drove in the on coming traffics turn lane..... whew.....made it home OK.... It's snowing BIG flakes right now and I'm going back out in it.......See Moreduluthinbloomz4
