    So far this is a longer-lived Echinacea than some of the other hybrid Echinaceas I've tried. Seems many of the newer echies are just short-lived perennials, lasting only 2 or 3 years. This one's been growing happily in my garden for four years now. Good performer. I'll update if that changes next year.
