Description
Echinacea are among the most versatile and rewarding perennials you can grow, and the ‘Breeders’ Mix is especially exciting. It offers a kaleidoscope of flower shapes and colours that keeps you guessing from one plant to the next. Each summer, your garden becomes a stage for an unpredictable show of daisy-like blooms that stand proudly on strong stems, making a bold statement in beds, borders or pots.
Flowering begins in June and continues through to November’s chills, so you’ll enjoy reliable colour right through to autumn, with plants that soar up to 100cm tall. The flowers themselves vary enormously, as some boast classic petals and others are quilled or ruffled, showing off shades spanning pink, purple, white, orange and more.
They thrive in sunny, well-drained soil, cope brilliantly with dry conditions once established, and come back year after year with strength and vigour. Plus, their wildlife value is extraordinary! Bees and butterflies flock to them, while the prominent seedheads left over in winter provide food for birds and visual interest in frosty borders.
They are also superb cut flowers, with long stems and lasting vase life, so you’ll have plenty to bring indoors as well as enjoy outdoors.
Supplied as a set of six bare root plants, ready to plant.
