coneflower

1 Hoadley said the trial garden was probably unusually prone to the disease because of the concentration of aster-family plants grown there over a long period, including coneflowers.

2 It is, as with coneflowers and liatris, one of the wildflowers at home in the garden.

3 Another species of distinction and underuse is E. tennesseensis, a perfect coneflower for dry sites and distinguished by discrete, outstretched petals, an effect somewhere between the other two coneflowers.

4 The palette included classic long-flowering native perennials for butterflies and bees, including coneflowers, Stokes aster, false indigo, hyssop and penstemon.

5 The coneflower is superb — its black seed heads haunt the garden in autumn and winter — but pick the right one.

6 Composites as a rule make for handsome zombies, especially the purple coneflowers.

7 In a small earthen pot on the table, the bouquet of yellow loosestrife, purple coneflowers, and lacy ferns cast a shadow against the wall in the dimming light.

8 The bumblebees work the coneflower patch all day, but they begin early.

9 The coneflowers are long done, but their remnant black drumsticks remain essential to the image.

10 The list includes irises, poppies, coneflowers, gaura, milkweed, torch lilies, yuccas, heaths and heathers, dianthus, thyme, amsonias, ice plant, and penstemons, not to mention grasses.

11 The coneflower dye-water would not be ready for use until the next morning.

12 They include various asclepias, tithonia, giant coneflower and the Maryland wild senna, the last a native plant deserving much more garden use.

13 With imagination, the palette is boundless and includes such things as lavender, catmint, poppies, thyme, coneflowers, liatris, salvias, baptisias, wild quinine, asters, goldenrods, agastaches, sedums, dianthus, phlomis and certain irises.

14 Delphiniums aren’t as versatile as, say, coneflowers, which mix easily and casually with grasses and other perennials.

15 Bubblegum-pink prairie roses and yellow prairie coneflower, whose blossoms look like miniature sombreros, framed the path.

16 The oddest variety, and also a top scorer, was Snow Cone, whose white, deeply reflexed blooms are small for a coneflower, but massed in a profusion that masks the foliage.

17 Cuba Center botanical garden near Wilmington, Del., decided to revisit the coneflower with a rigorous, three-year trial of Echinacea that ended last year.

18 Hence he’s been planting lots of dwarf fruit trees, evergreen huckleberries, rhubarb, blueberries, raspberries, coneflowers, rudbeckia and helenium.

19 In some, the family resemblance is obvious — in coneflowers or shasta daisies, for example.

20 And like the tall coneflower, it will provide a feast for pollinators and birds.
