Green Twister Echinacea is a freely branching native perennial with strong upright stems that do not need staking and medium green foliage. The large fragrant bicolor flowers have yellow-green tips and lilac-pink centers with bronze cones and bloom from summer into fall. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. The flowers attract butterflies and bees, and spent stems will stay erect and attract birds if not removed. Drought tolerant.
