Product Description
These eye-catching Echinacea produce bright pink petals amid a brown centre. Echinacea are a North American relative of the sunflower, also known as cone flowers for their distinctive shaping, with prominent conical disks at the centres surround by drooping daisy-like petals. Introduce this cheerful flower into your summer garden where it will grow to a mature height of 1-1.5 metres and flower from July through to October. Grow individually or plant alongside contrasting Echinacea within garden borders to create a colourful feature. These rosy coneflowers also produce a beautiful fragrance so ensure that they are planted where they can be enjoyed, such as patio containers. They will also make wonderful cut-flower displays. UK-grown 5cm module 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. Dig a hole in the border that’s big enough to house the entire module. Do this until the top of the soil from the module is just below the top of the pot. Fill around the modules with soil and firm them down gently. Water well.
