Terra Nova Nurseries has expanded its Echinacea Supreme Series with Echinacea Supreme 'Lime'. This new addition embodies all the hallmarks of a classic perennial while delivering the same vigorous growth habit as its previous cultivars in the Supreme series.
Echinacea Supreme 'Lime' stands tall with statuesque form, presenting distinctive lime-green flowers that hold their color longer thanks to an extra dose of chlorophyll. This new fragrant variety attracts pollinators and butterflies, and shines as a cut flower as well as in mass plantings, mixed beds and borders. It also thrives in full sun, blooming July through October, and is hardy for USDA Zones 4-9.
Terra Nova's breeding team recommends allowing Supreme 'Lime' to dry moderately between waterings during finishing time in the greenhouse. The new echinacea variety grows most actively in the summer, reaching a height of 20", width of 24" and flower height of 30". Finishing growers can expect the finish time from a liner to a 4-inch pot to be six to eight weeks. Finish time from a liner to a 1-gallon pot is 12 to 14 weeks.
