Care Guide

Good Pest and Disease Resistance

Echinops generally have very few pest or disease problems except for Aphids. To combat Aphids you can pick away the bugs with your hands and also wash the infested areas down with soapy water. MORE

Water Often in Summer

When the plant is establishing itself and especially during hot and dry periods in summer water the plant regularly. If it is particularly hot and dry this could require watering several times a week at least.MORE

Full Sun to Partial Shade

Plant somewhere where the plant will receive around 6 hours of direct sunlight every day.MORE

Any Well-Drained Soil

Echinops can cope in a variety of different soils as long as it drains well. If your soil is particularly clay heavy and gets waterlogged often then try mixing in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost and also perlite or grit to improve drainage.MORE

Not Required

Don't worry, this isn't a hungry plant so your food bills won't be going up!MORE

Prune Lightly

Prune away flower stems after the bloom has finished and give the plant a little tidy up in spring removing any dead leaves.MORE
