Echinacea purpurea 'Green Envy' - 2026

Echinacea purpurea 'Green Envy' is a hardy, herbaceous perennial admired for its striking daisy-like flowers with petals showing a gradient from pink-purple near the central cone to green at the tips, blooming from mid to late summer. The upright flower stems rise above clumps of coarse, dark green foliage, adding height and dramatic architectural interest to borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial plantings. Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, supporting garden biodiversity.

Thriving in full sun with well-drained, moderately fertile soil, Echinacea purpurea 'Green Envy' benefits from deadheading spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage prolonged flowering. Hardy, drought-tolerant, and relatively low-maintenance, this cultivar provides unique summer colour and vertical structure, making it an excellent choice for sunny borders and pollinator-friendly plantings.
