Green Twister Coneflower Echinacea
Growing Green Twister Coneflower Echinacea
‘Green Twister’ is a distinctive echinacea prized for its unusual two-tone blooms, sturdy perennial growth, and exceptional garden presence. Four-inch flowers feature bright lemon-green petals tipped in carmine rose surrounding rich red cones, while the petals extend outward rather than drooping to create a striking starburst-like appearance.
Plant ‘Green Twister’ seeds about ⅛ inch deep and space plants about 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun to partial sun. Germination typically takes 10 to 20 days after stratification. Plants develop strong, upright stems reaching about 42 inches tall, and this variety is also well suited to containers.
Around 21 days to maturity, enjoy the flowers as they open and reach their best display stage. Established plants return year after year and provide a steady flush of distinctive blooms from midsummer into fall.
Unique, sturdy, and colorful, ‘Green Twister’ is an excellent choice for ornamental beds, borders, containers, cut flower gardens, and pollinator-friendly plantings.
