Why You’ll Love It

Echinacea ‘Green Twister’ is a striking and unusual coneflower, celebrated for its dramatic multi-coloured blooms. The lime green petals twist and fade into a vivid magenta centre, creating a bold focal point in perennial borders and meadow-style plantings. Flowering over a long period from summer into autumn, it adds strong colour contrast and architectural interest. Highly attractive to bees and butterflies, ‘Green Twister’ also provides structure and winter interest when seed heads are left standing.

Planting & Care Tips

• Plant in full sun for best colour and strong stems

• Prefers well-drained soil; tolerant of poor soils once established

• Water during establishment, then sparingly once established

• Deadhead to encourage repeat flowering

• Leave seed heads standing over winter for texture and bird interest

• Cut back in late winter or early spring before new growth appears
