Kismet Perfection
These mid-sized coneflowers really make a statement with their large, vibrant blooms and strong upright stems. Simply perfect! Ordering is easy, with in depth description, care instructions and plant count available. I order plants online regularly from various well known nurseries. US Perennials is, by far, the best company to order from. The quality of the plant, the easy & efficient packaging have not been matched. Also, as a fellow Midwesterner, it is great to get plants from a nearby nursery with lots of native options.
