(aka: Echinacea Noortdeli) Echinacea 'Delicious Candy' comes from our friend, Dutch plant breeder Marco van Noort, who touts his new coneflower as the best he's seen in the last half-decade. Based on our trials, we concur. Echinacea 'Delicious Candy' forms a small, compact clump, topped, starting for us in mid-June (NC), with rigidly upright 18" tall stalks, ending in brilliant magenta flowers. Each flower is composed of a pompom-like central cone atop a row of magenta petals. In the garden, visitors spot Echinacea 'Delicious Candy' from 100 paces....places, also.
