PRIMA Lime Coneflower, scientifically known as Echinacea PRIMA™ 'Lime', is a spectacular two-toned variety, featuring creamy-white petals delicately brushed with vibrant lime-green tips. At the center, a bold emerald cone gradually matures to golden-yellow, creating rich contrast against the lightly coloured cupped petals. The fragrant blooms are not only beautiful to admire - they’re also irresistible to pollinators and hummingbirds.
Part of the exceptional PRIMA™ Collection, this white and green coneflower is specially bred for its compact, mounded habit, extended flowering season, and multiple crowns that produce an abundance of blooms. Dense green foliage forms a tidy mound just 36 cm (14 in) tall, while sturdy stems lift the flowers to 50 cm (20 in), making it perfectly suited for containers, borders, and mass plantings. Expect a bold, colorful display with continuous flowering from June until frost. The striking lime-toned flowers offer excellent staying power, both in the garden and in fresh-cut arrangements.
Despite its refined appearance, PRIMA Lime Coneflower is remarkably easy to grow. Hardy to Zone 4a and adaptable to a wide range of well-drained soils, this white and green coneflower thrives in full sun and becomes drought tolerant once established. Deer resistant and low maintenance, it’s a reliable performer that shines season after season.
