Echinacea 'Magnus' - 3.5 inch Pots (Minimum Quantity: 25 Plants)
Echinacea ‘Magnus’ is a standout variety of coneflower, prized for its large, vibrant pink petals that extend straight out from a bold, coppery-orange center. Unlike traditional Echinacea with downward-curving petals, ‘Magnus’ boasts a more open, daisy-like form, making its blooms even more striking and accessible to pollinators like bees and butterflies. Blooming from midsummer to fall, this hardy perennial thrives in full sun, tolerates drought, and adds a stunning splash of color to borders, wildflower gardens, and meadow plantings. Its sturdy stems make it an excellent choice for cut flowers, while its dried seed heads provide winter interest and nourishment for birds. With its effortless beauty and resilience, Echinacea ‘Magnus’ is a garden classic that shines through every season.
