Coneflowers come in various colors and sizes. I am totally new to gardening...but I already know that the coneflower is my favorite. It's a great flower for a 'beginner' such as myself to get hooked on!

The picture is one of my favorites. Coconut Lime Coneflower. "Double pompon flowers of creamy white with pale lime green cone" is how the tag describes it. It doesn't get as tall as the Purple Coneflower with a heighth of 24-30" tall.

I would suggest that you google Coneflowers if you are really interested in them because there is so much more to know about them than what I know!
