OK.... I have an Echinacea queation for those of you who have some of the new ones....

Is "Twilight" truly as vivid of a dark pinkish red color as most of the pictures imply? I don't want another pinkish purple color since my Magnus is a huge and very happy plant. But, there's a tiny, little, nursery across the street from one of my jobs that just got a few in, that are really robust plants, and they're 12.95 for one. So, I was thinking that I just might splurge for one.

Then does anyone know if the new ones will reseed and/or hybridize themselves in the yard? I have quite a few seedling plants that are clearly crosses between my 'Doppleganger' and 'Magnus'. If these others will do the same, I'd like to encourage or discourage accordingly!
