Echinacea ‘Chiquita’ has a naturally short habit, a high crown count, very large flowers for a dwarf and a lovely, soft yellow colour. As a container plant, ‘Chiquita’ is a star performer and in the garden nothing could light up the front of the border like this fragrant, easy to grow cultivar. A member of the Prairie Pixies Series. Echinacea in coastal BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils for best overwintering.
