I bought a four-pack of small plants of these “Magnus” pink/lavender Coneflowers from Frerich’s. On May 14, 2008, two were planted together in Welcome in the center section near the stepping stones.
Once they bloomed in August they looked wonderful. Large, full flowers in bright lavender-pink. A nice contrast in front of the blue Hyssop. Once it established, it grew well, many flowers well into fall.
