Abstract
This study aimed to determine the phenotipycal variability between fourteen cultivars of Echinacea sp. during three experimental years 2005-2007. The experimental data presents the development of stems length and the number of stems because of the medicinal importance of Echinacea sp. and we analyzed also the diameter of the capitulum in order to determine the ornamental potential of Echinacea sp. cultivars. According to the results, all cultivars are very stable and their phenotipycal variations do not interfere with the climatic conditions. Echinacea simulata and one of Echinacea purpurea cultivars showed a very good ornamental potential. The best medicinal potential was proved by some E. purpurea cultivars only. These results may be useful in the breeding improvement of Echinacea sp. for medicinal and ornamental use.
