Description

Echinacea, coneflower, is a tough herbaceous perennial with good draught resistance. It comes in many colours variations but purple and white are the most common.

Late flowering daisy like blooms with petals that contrast well with pronounced rounded to cone-shaped central boss, stood atop strong branching stems.

It is increasingly popular in prairie style planting, and grows well in the middle or back of borders where it adds stability to less sturdy tall flowers.

Prefers rich well drained soil in a sunny location. Mixing well with other tall late flowerers, attractive to pollinators and often used in complementary medicine. Makes good cut flowers, cutting back extending the flowering season.

	Soil: Sandy loam and chalk soils. Drought tolerant.
