Echinacea Plants
You wanted colour? You got it in bucket loads! Echinaceas (AKA ‘coneflowers’) are some of the brightest, most beautiful flowers in the garden – and they've got stamina, too, lasting all the way from June to October. Named after the Greek word for 'hedgehog' due to their spiny centres, they're a big hit with wildlife, too, attracting bees, butterflies and birds to your garden. Our echinacea plants are grown with love in Herefordshire by our grower, Jack, using sustainable methods, and with UK garden conditions firmly in mind.
Which echinacea?
This colourful species has plant varieties in an extensive range of happy hues, including yellow, orange, pink, green and white. Echinacea flowers grow on upright stems, with eventual heights varying from below 0.5m all the way up to a hefty 1.5m. Some varieties, like Parrot, have single flowers, whilst others, such as Delicious Candy, feature double flowers. All echinaceas are united by their distinctive central cone and downwards-facing petals.
Planting schemes and partners
One of the beautiful things about echinaceas is that they suit such a wide variety of planting schemes. From expansive prairie-style gardens to quintessential cottage gardens, and from meadow/wildflower gardens to sun-soaked coastal plots, echinacea does it all! Plant your echinacea alongside achillea, lavender and salvia to create a perennial display bursting with colour and teeming with wildlife. Limited on space? Echinacea will happily take on the role of “pot plant extraordinaire” and shine on a patio.
Growing tips
Given the choice, echinaceas would probably sun themselves on a tanning bed all day – that’s how much they love the big blob in the sky. Don’t worry, though, you can still grow your echinacea in part-shaded areas. Echinaceas do best in slightly acidic to neutral, moderately fertile soil that drains well, however they will tolerate most soil conditions. Water your echinacea whilst establishing to keep it happy, and consider applying a balanced, slow-release fertiliser during the spring. Apply a well rotted manure mulch to the base of your plant in spring. If overcrowded, divide in the autumn or spring.
