Have any of you seen this one?

"NEW! ECHINACEA Jupiter (‘Jacob Lewis’) (USPPAF)

The newest addition to the Big Sky™ series. Famous for its large flowers, Jupiter is very floriferous with a brighter and deeper rosy-orange flower color than Summer Sky™"

That is nice! When will that come out? I lost my sunset and would like to replace but I believe it has been discontinued.

I think this one will be available next spring. I will try to find out.

Very nice. I guess we can add echinaceas "Satin Nights" & "Quills & Thrills" to the list of "ones to look for".

I can't keep up.

Ft Lauderdale, FL(Zone 10a)

I can't either. There are so many new ones. I think I better be a bit more selective and focus on the new ones that are truly unique/different from all the others or I'll be broke!!! "Hot Papaya" and "Marmalade" stand out to me for the 2010 releases because they're something we haven't seen before.

I ordered 'Strawberry Shortcake' today. Santa Rosa Gardens has them in. I can't wait to get that one going!

Ft Lauderdale, FL(Zone 10a)

Agreed. Ordered two of them myself along with Columbine "Swan Pink & Yellow" The uniqueness of that echinacea caught my attention last year. Saw a "Swan Pink & Yellow" Columbine plant up North this summer and it was a beautiful looking plant.

That is another pretty one emaniac. No new ones for me until the spring orders. Hoping that the yellow double might show up some place too. I agree that Marmalade and Hot Papaya look like the best new ones from this year. I have a few that did not bloom this year more than one bloom, so if they return I will see how they are after getting settled in.

I have to say 'Flame Thrower' was another one I really liked. It was covered with blooms. Every single one survived the flood and the winter last year. It's unique as well. I consider it one of the best of the bunch!

I would have to agree with that if they return next spring. I did not let them bloom much this first season. Also would have to add 'Tangerine Dream' and 'Summer Sun' to the "have good potential" list.
