They have an outer circle of broad petals marked with several long veins, of a wonderful purple-pink color – much brighter than the traditional coneflower. Once summer is underway it sends up many flower stems to about 2 feet above the ground, each one branching into several large flowers, each 3 to 4 inches across, with a soft, sweet fragrance. Each year it starts with a mound of oval leaves that are dark-green and rough to the touch. It dies down in winter each year to the roots, sprouting back again in spring with renewed vigor and more blooms. The Pow Wow Wild Berry Coneflower is a perennial herbaceous plant. Growing the Pow Wow® Wild Berry Coneflower Size and Appearance Don’t forget to cut a few for a vase – they last forever, and leave the seed heads as winter food for the goldfinches – they deserve a hand getting through that cold. A little more compact than wild coneflowers, topping out at just 2 feet tall, with a full, more bushy form, you won’t need to do a thing to enjoy this great plant, it is totally self-sufficient once it is established. Coneflowers are great, because they look perfectly at home in every setting, from the most organized and formal beds to casual cottage gardens, and they even brighten that area of rough grass you are always meaning to get to. Best of all are its rich berry pink flowers, a bright rose-purple that really sparkles in your garden. But there is always something a bit ‘sad’ about the flowers, with their drooping petals, and that color is a bit ‘washed out’, don’t you think? So let’s upgrade to the Pow Wow® Wild Berry Coneflower – much more vigorous and prolific in its blooms than its wild parent, with broad petals that stand horizontal.
