‘Leilani’ glows with its clear, yellow flowers that bloom from summer to fall. The name “Leilani” is well suited to this elegant plant as it means “royal child of heaven.” It has a strongly upright habit that doesn’t require any staking. Use en masse for the border, in a mixed bed, and as a cut flower. Echinacea in coastal BC should be planted in hot, dry, sunny spots with thin, average to poor soils for best overwintering.
