Terra Nova Nurseries announces new addition to Echinacea Delightful series

Terra Nova Nurseries is offering a sneak peek of its new Echinacea Delightful ‘Lace’. The perennial is the latest addition to the Echinacea Delightful series and features sweetly scented, tubular petals that form a star at the end.

Echinacea Delightful ‘Lace’ presents substantial landscape value in mixed beds and borders while offering a variety of special uses, including being deer-resistant, fragrant and an effective pollinator and hummingbird attractor. The new echinacea displays a fast and mounding growth habit and thrives in the summer sun, blooming June through October. Hardy in zones 4-9, ‘Lace’ also prefers coarse and slightly mineral soil and requires low-water usage as well as full-sun exposure.

Finishing growers should allow the variety to dry moderately between waterings in the greenhouse. The finish time from a liner to a 4-inch pot is six to eight weeks; finish time from a liner to a 1-gallon pot is 12 to 14 weeks. ‘Lace’ grows most actively in spring, reaching a height of 12 inches, width of 16 inches and flower height of 14 inches.

Terra Nova Nurseries created “Plant Profile” and “Grower Recipe” pages specific to this new variety and others, so growers interested in orders can learn about growing habits, plant characteristics, fertilization recommendations, water requirements and other insights from the breeding team.
