Coneflower Identification #878575

Asked July 24, 2024, 1:02 PM EDT

Hello. I purchased several coneflowers in the past but am unable to identify them by cultivar. Is there a coneflower expert among you who may be able to hold this up to database photos and compare?

Expert Response

I'm not a coneflower expert, but I doubt anyone could definitively identify the cultivar you have.  Also, cultivars are bred for other feature besides color: size, number of blooms, double blooms, size of bloom, and so forth.

Here is a candidate, but there are others:

Perhaps you can recall where you purchased this coneflower?
