Because they are tough, drought-tolerant, long-lasting, bird-attracting natives, I am a fan of echinacea in my garden. Although the Meadow Brite varieties I tried didn’t come back, the white and the common pink varieties have done very well. I tried the ‘Green Jewel’ variety in 2009, and quite liked it. Interesting blooms and mildly scented, too. Here’s hoping it comes back in 2010…especially since the picture I got is really washed out and doesn’t really show off how green the blooms on it were!
