Echinacea Artisan™ Series by Kieft Seed
Sometimes it is too hard to pick just one! The Artisan™ series was grown from seed and has bloomed quite uniformly at the peak of the season! All three colors – ‘Yellow Ombre’, ‘Soft Orange’, and ‘Red Ombre’ – come together to form a rainbow of color in the sunniest and hottest beds in the garden.

This is the second appearance of a Garvinea® Gerbera this year. This is not typically a plant that appears in most regional landscapes due to its finicky reputation, but we have had unbelievable success with this series!
