Product Description
Echinacea 'Summer Cocktail' is a hardy herbaceous perennial ideal for borders, prairie-style planting, containers and cut flower displays. With its vibrant orange-yellow blooms that gradually mature to soft pink and salmon shades and compact, upright habit, it brings long-lasting colour and seasonal interest to gardens from June through to September.
This Echinacea variety can reach 60cm in height with a spread of 45cm, thriving best in humus-rich, well drained soil in a full sun position. Its flowers attract bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens, while its long-lasting blooms are also ideal for cutting.

Growing at a glance…
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 is 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.
