Symbivit (arbuscular)Echinacea
Coneflower series MOOODZ® comprises of compact plants showing bushy, freely branching habit. They are much easier to propagate, and produce flowers instantly on very young plants. They are bred by Hilverda Kooij in the Netherlands.
MOOODZ® JOY is spectacular orange variety of MOOODZ® coneflower. Its rich tangerine orange flowers are very elegant and striking at the same time. They are uniformly flat with an elevated cone hiding sweet nectar for butterflies, bees, and bumble bees. Tips of ray florets are once or twice dissected, as if a small coneflower pixie took a pair of scissors and cut each petal when the flower opens from the bud. Well, he is a rascal but imagine what a tough job it must be - just like when a centipede is putting the shoes on ... Stems are strong and erect, reaching up 60 to 50 cm tall, and producing flowers from July until September. Lanceolate leaves are very dark green and grow from the ground and then up along the stems.
Coneflowers are maintenance-free perennials blooming from early or mid summer until early fall. They come out on sturdy stems that do not break in wind or heavy rain. Flowers attract butterflies and bumble bees. Deadheading of spent flowers and occasional feeding will improve their performance.
