You might have noticed we've had a new crop up for grabs this year:
Echibeckia!
This new hybrid flower is a cross between echinacea and rudbeckia, and we have been loving its unique color palettes and large ruffled blooms!
Some important things to know:
As far as vase life and durability, it tends to hold up more like rudbeckia than echinacea. This means it can sometimes get its stems easily clogged (as rudbeckia is considered a 'dirty' flower since it tends to muddy up water over time), so it's best if a bit of beach or a chlorine tablet is used in the water.
It also does not hold up well out of water at all, so it's not recommended for things that will be out of water for any length of time. It also isn't as tough in the extreme heat as echinacea is.
However!
For a regular indoor arrangement in a regular vessel with clean water, this new addition is STUNNING π It adds both texture and acts as a color bridge, as most varieties tend to have multiple hues.
We know it's a bit early to be thinking of fall, but we already can't wait to see how this is used in autumn arrangements!! It totally screams chic, textural, moody fall vibes for sure π
Tell us - have you tried this new flower hybrid? What did you think??
