Coneflower Question #871129

Asked June 02, 2024, 11:19 AM EDT

Is it normal for coneflowers to look like this. It has looked like this for a few days. Today, it got a bit of the pink color, but it doesn't look like the other flowers on the same plant.

Montgomery County Maryland

Expert Response

Yes, it can be quite normal for many coneflower cultivars to start green before fully developing their typical petal color. Some cultivars even mature green (or mostly-green), though they are in the minority.
