Green Twister Coneflower

American Beauties Native Plants®

Green Twister opens lime green at the petal tips and carmine pink toward the center, so each flower carries both colors at once. Echinacea purpurea 'Green Twister' grows 2 to 3 feet tall and 18 to 24 inches wide in full sun to part sun, hardy from Zone 3 through Zone 8.

The proportion of green to pink varies plant to plant and flower to flower, since this is seed-grown rather than cloned. Bloom runs from early summer into fall.

The stems are tall enough for the middle of a border and stiff enough to stand without staking. The flowers cut well.

Leave the last seedheads standing at the end of the season for goldfinches. Purple coneflower takes drought, heat, humidity, poor soil, and clay once established, and full sun gives the sturdiest stems. Deer generally leave it alone.

Received two ornamental flowering almonds. They were bigger than expected beautiful lush green and I was totally impressed. I wanted to get a heads up with planting them this August and get them growing so I could enjoy them in the spring. Thank you so much. Absolutely stunning.

I've received four roses from Spotswood Greenery and each won has been a big, healthy, beautiful plant. Shipping is super quick and prices are reasonable. I'm super satisfied and will be ordering many more!

Exceptional Roses

EXCEPTIONAL ROSES!

Recently, I received a #3 pot Wollerton Old Hall Rose, a #3 Alnwick Rose, and a #2 pot Sweet Mademoiselle rose from Spotswood Greenery. I could not be more pleased and grateful. All plants are in perfect condition. Each is supported by incredibly healthy roots, several Charles Atlas-like stems, and beautiful foliage. Packaging was very secure. Clearly done with care! Shipping was quite prompt. Now, pricing! I've grown roses for 40 of my 67 years. In that time, it's easy for me to say that Spotswood has exceeded every other source without question. I found three roses in stock I had wanted! The quality is champion! The prices are very good, excellent when one buys at the free shipping level! Worth every penny! Thank you, every one, on the Spotswood Greenery Team!

I just received my hypericum red fame and was amazed how big it was and just as pretty as my established one I have had a couple years. So happy because the last one I ordered online from another nursery came as a little stub compared to this! I will definitely use Spotswood Greenery for now on!

Wonderful

Quick shipping

Bought a David Austin rose; it arrived quickly however it had some damage upon arrival. Ended up pruning and defoliating a good bit to get rid of the broken cane and pest damage, but I expect it to be a beautiful bush down the road.

Lovely plants

Lovely plants, get with your shipper.

Comfortable ordering process

The information and accuracy of the description of the ordered plants was great. The ability to search for specific plants was nice. Could search for terms not pre-defined and still came up with relevant specimens.

The online ordering process went smoothly.

I ordered ~8 David Austin roses from here. They were equal in quality to the ones at my local nurseries (better than some), and $10 cheaper. Established roots, full of buds that have become gorgeous blooms. Will absolutely order from Spotswood again!

Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in spring or fall in average, well-drained soil. Space 18–24 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch around the base.

Care Tips

Plant in full sun, at least 6 hours a day.
Plant in average, well-drained soil. Rich or wet soil, especially in winter, is the main cause of loss, and the hybrids are less forgiving than the species.
Water through the first summer; established plants handle drought.
Feed lightly, if at all. Extra fertilizer makes floppy stems.
Remove spent flowers to keep new ones coming. Leave the last flower heads standing in fall; on single-flowered types, goldfinches and other seed-eating birds feed on the seeds into winter.
Do not cut plants back in fall. Cut old stems to the ground in early spring.
Divide only when a plant gets crowded, about every 4 years, in spring. Many hybrids do best left undivided.
Aster yellows causes distorted, green-tufted flowers. Pull out and discard an affected plant; it does not recover.
Japanese beetles feed on the flowers in summer, and rabbits eat young shoots in spring.
