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® Awake coneflower is one of the few varieties with rich purple pink flower. The brightness as well as depth of this coneflower colour is something I have only seen in Amazing Dream so far. The flowers are single, large, and have fiery red centres (cones). Stems are strong, very dark burgundy red, almost black, 50-60 cm tall and hold 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.

Coneflower will tolerate almost any soil type but boggy and highly acidic. It loves full sun. It is suitable for mixed borders with perennials, or can be used as a flowering feature among low shrubs and conifers, and looks lovely when planted in a mass in a container on patios and balconies. Fully hardy to min. -30°C (USDA zone 5), possibly a few degrees lower.
