| (=‘CBG Cone 2’) This hybrid is a vast improvement over other dwarf Coneflowers on the market. Flowers are midsized, with flat medium-pink petals surrounding a cone that begins greenish-pink, maturing to deep crimson. Deadhead regularly for continual blooming into the autumn. The fragrant blooms are attractive to butterflies. A great choice for containers or edging a sunny border. Blooming is best with full sun conditions. This is the third in a series of new hybrids developed at the Chicago Botanic Garden. USPP#18546, CPBRAF: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
