Coneflower - Lilliput
Coneflower Lilliput, Echinacea purpurea 'Lilliput' (PP#18,841), is a dwarf coneflower that is perfect for the front of the border or as a groundcover! Echinacea 'Lilliput' PPAF forms cute little mounds adorned with numerous deep rose-pink flowers.  The foliage height is only 12 inches high, and the flowers top out at a mere 18 inches. The most compact coneflower variety yet, Echinacea 'Lilliput' demonstrates great vigor, bringing brilliant color to the smallest spaces! For best results, plant in full sun in a well drained area.  The sturdy stems carry the blossoms from midsummer to fall.   The coneflower is known for its large flower heads that turn to seed in the fall.  It is a great choice for cut flowers, and it adds a wilderness look to your garden. 'Lilliput', usually reblooms without deadheading, but if spent flowers are removed, this procedure will encourage continued beautiful blooms and improves general appearance. This coneflower keeps coming all summer on tall plants with excellent branching; deer resistant. If you leave some spent blooms on the plants in fall their seeds provide winter food for birds.  You can enjoy the dried seed heads as well, because they will provide architectural interest in the winter. 'Lilliput', will give you weeks of color and makes a dependable and lovely plant for a small space in a sunny spot!    * Mounded and compact * Dwarf * Long lasting blooms
