Coneflower series MOOODZ® comprises of compact plants showing bushy, freely branching habit. They are much easier to propagate, and produce flowers instantly on very young plants. They are bred by Hilverda Kooij in the Netherlands.
Description of the plant:
MOOODZ® SATISFY is a unique coneflower variety from the MOOODZ® series. It produces very large, 10 cm across flowers with a gigantic cone which looks like almost half an apple. It is strongly and sweetly fragrant. Ray florets are a pretty mixture of salmon pink and tangerine orange. Stems are well-branched, thick and strong, only up to 50 cm tall, and hold flowers from July until early September. Lanceolate leaves are very dark green and grow from the ground and then up along the stems.Coneflowers are maintenance-free perennials blooming from early or mid summer until early fall. They come out on sturdy stems that do not break in wind or heavy rain. Flowers attract butterflies and bumble bees.
Coneflower will tolerate almost any soil type but boggy and highly acidic. It loves full sun. It is suitable for mixed borders with perennials, or can be used as a flowering feature among low shrubs and conifers, and looks lovely when planted in a mass in a container on patios and balconies. Fully hardy to min. -30°C (USDA zone 5), possibly a few degrees lower.
