Echinacea 'Hilmooshin' MOOODZ^® SHINY

Coneflower series MOOODZ^® comprises of compact plants showing bushy, freely branching habit. They are much easier to propagate, and produce flowers instantly on very young plants. They are bred by Hilverda Kooij in the Netherlands.

MOOODZ^® SHINY is another yellow, or almost yellow cconeflower asking your attention. In fact, this one is for the lovers of light, pastel shades, producing only pale yellow but very pretty flowers. They are about 8 cm across, mildly scented, and look like a perfect daisy. Stems are well-branched, thick and strong, reaching up 60 to 50 cm tall, and hold flowers from July until early September. Lanceolate leaves are very dark green and grow from the ground and then up along the stems.

Coneflowers are maintenance-free perennials blooming from early or mid summer until early fall. They come out on sturdy stems that do not break in wind or heavy rain. Flowers attract butterflies and bumble bees.

Coneflower will tolerate almost any soil type but boggy and highly acidic. It loves full sun. It is suitable for mixed borders with perennials, or can be used as a flowering feature among low shrubs and conifers, and looks lovely when planted in a mass in a container on patios and balconies. Fully hardy to min. -30°C (USDA zone 5), possibly a few degrees lower.
