Product Description
Echinacea are a hardy perennial plant that produce large daisy-like flowers on sturdy stems reaching a height of 60cm. Also known as 'Coneflowers' they produce a stunning display year after year attracting bees and butterflies into the summer garden.

These startling flowers look great when planted against contrasting colours of Echinacea within garden borders or patio containers. They also make a cheerful bouquet when cut to be enjoyed within the home. First grade loose root plants supplied.

Growing at a glance…
Plant in spring/summer, once soil has warmed. Cut back when blooms begin to fade, as this will help encourage future growth. Protect from excessive winter wet. Ideal for containers and front of border displays. Soak roots in a bucket of water for 1-2 hours before planting. Dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the root system. Plant in groups for a fuller display, usually in groups of 3, somewhere that gets plenty of sunlight.
