Terra Nova adds to Delightful echinacea series
Terra Nova Nurseries has added to its echinacea Delightful series with echinacea ‘Delightful Prosecco’, a coneflower with double yellow blooms.
Prosecco grows with a stout, bouquet-style branching habit and has golden, pom-pom flowers perched atop sturdy, upright stems. The anemone-type flowers shift from bright lemon to soft ivory and radiate warmth and cheer as they bloom from June through October. It is deer-resistant and attractive to pollinators and hummingbirds; other special traits include low-water usage and being heat- and humidity-tolerant.
‘Delightful Prosecco’ thrives in full sun and grows most actively in summer, reaching a height of 14 inches, width of 16 inches and flower height of 16 inches. Terra Nova’s breeding team recommends allowing this perennial to dry slightly between waterings during finishing time in the greenhouse.
Finishing growers can expect the finish time from a liner to a 4-inch pot to be six to eight weeks; finish time from a liner to a 1-gallon pot is 12 to 14 weeks. It is hardy to Zones 4 to 9.
