Plants had full red pedal flowers but now very skinny pedals with little color! Look nice from nursery but not the next year.

Although the plants are healthy, this coneflower is straight up orange. No reds, no pinks, just plain orange. Not what I needed for my color scheme. Very disappointed.

I grew this plant and it is doing fantastic! I love the bright bold colors it has produced! Definetly a focal point in the landscape.
