Impressive Echinacea 'SunMagic' in 2024

I have seen impressive Echinacea ‘SunMagic’ in 2024 in several trails throughout the United States and Canada. Trials which show the capacity and performance of the ‘SunMagic’ series.

Sawaya Trials Canada

The Trials from Mel Sawaya are defenitely impressing and informative as well. All annual products are grown and displayed in containers. Perennials like Echinacea are also kept in the ground for overwinter trials.

Below you see the new ‘SunMagic Vintage’ introductions 2024/25 and their wonderfull habbit and the amazing flowerpower.

The flower in the first year is one side of the story, the hardiness is the other side.

The ‘SunMagic’ series is offered as a Zone 5 Echinacea and this is also part of the trial program in Waterford at the SAWAYA Trials.

Overwinter 2023/24

The overwinter trial looked great as well. Transplanted in2023, the plants came back great, nice mounding, covering the soil of the bed.

The flowerpower was just great!

A great series for all landscaping purposes.

After the visit of the SAWAYA Trials I had the chance to visit the Niagra Falls, showing some similar colors to the ‘SunMagic’ series.
