Product Description
Echinacea, also known as Coneflowers, have become a firm favourite within borders and containers to create a cottage-style themed garden. 'After Midnight' displays wide bright pink slightly overlapping pink petals with a prominent rich chocolate centre. Held up on fine black stems above rich blue-green foliage, the leaves contrast well against the flowers making them really stand out. The flowers also give off a wonderful fragrance that appeals to butterflies and bees but can also be enjoyed within the home when the flowers are cut to be used within floral displays. This stunning variety flowers from July through to September and reaches a height of 45cm. First grade loose roots 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.
