Lucky Star' is an upright, widely-branched, clump-forming, white-flowered coneflower that typically grows to 24-36\ tall and to 18-24\" wide on sturdy stems that do not need staking. It is a seed strain. Flowers appear in a floriferous bloom from late spring to late summer, sometimes with additional sporadic bloom until frost. Each flower (to 3\" diameter) features white rays that are perpendicular to the stem. The rays surround an orange-yellow center cone. Strigose, narrow-ovate leaves (to 4\" long) with serrated margins are medium green. Good fresh cut or dried flower. The dead flower stems will remain erect well into the winter, and if flower heads are not removed, the blackened cones may be visited by goldfinches or other birds that feed on the seeds. Echinacea comes from the Greek word ìechinosî meaning hedgehog in reference to the spiny center cone found on most flowers in the genus." (less)
