Echinacea 'Twilight' PPAF
Common Name: Coneflower 'Twilight'
Echinacea ‘Twilight’ — commonly called Twilight Coneflower — is a long-blooming perennial valued for its rich rosy-pink to mauve-purple flowers with prominent dark cones that appear from early summer into fall. Dark green, slightly coarse foliage forms a sturdy clump and remains attractive through the season, sometimes developing muted tones in fall. Its upright, well-branched habit and deeper, evening-toned color make it a strong accent in borders and pollinator plantings.
