Prairie Blaze Vintage Lime Echinacea
Echinacea purpurea 'Prairie Blaze Vintage Lime'
Striking, sturdy, and pollinator-friendly, Prairie Blaze Vintage Lime Echinacea brings an unexpected twist to classic coneflowers with its bold, lime-green blooms and vintage charm. This standout perennial adds colour and texture to garden beds, borders, and pollinator plantings, while offering the same toughness and low maintenance that Echinacea is known for.
Large, daisy-like flowers with lime petals and prominent central cones bloom profusely from mid-summer into early fall, providing lasting interest and valuable nectar for bees and butterflies. The sturdy, upright stems resist flopping and make excellent cut flowers. Its deep green foliage forms a tidy clump, making it equally attractive when not in bloom.
Prairie Blaze Vintage Lime thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating drought and heat once established. Hardy to Zone 3, it performs well across Canadian growing regions and brings a fresh, modern colour palette to native-inspired or contemporary landscapes alike.
