Echinacea 'Little Annie'
You'll only find it in 2010 at Sugar Creek Gardens

We think the next best thing to winning the lottery is hybridizing a new coneflower, and that's exactly what Eric Stahlheber at Southernwood Gardens in Jonesboro, Illinois, has done. 

Through hard work and a little bit of luck, Eric has created the tiniest and most floriferous coneflower to date, reaching only 6"-9" in height.  (The height might vary some based on soil, light, fertilizer, etc., but he's grown them consistently at the 6" size -- basal foliage stays 3", with tiny flower stalks only a few inches taller than that.  Did I hear someone say "Perfect for fairy gardens!"???)

Named after his wife, "Little Annie" is a true miniature with tiny petals and tiny leaves, but the bloom count is staggering. The plant appears to be sterile, which means instead of working hard to produce seeds, it works hard to produce flowers.

'Little Annie' will be released to the public in 2011, but we've twisted Eric's arm and he's agreed to give us some. 

We hope to have it available to customers by April 15, 2010.

For those of you that don't want to miss out, we are now accepting orders for spring 2010. 

Finally, the coneflower that jumps to the front of the flower garden!
