Echinacea pallida

The 'pale purple Coneflower' These plants have become tremendously popular in recent years thanks to the trend of 'Prairie Style' planting schemes. Their impressive daisy type cone centre flowers in varying shades can be put to good effect mixed with other hardy perennials such as Asters, Rudbekias, Cimicifuga, eryngiums etc, & especially married with all the ornamental grasses which invoke this prairie style planting effect.
The flowers on this lovely variety are very popular with bees & butterflies, & have long delicate, pink drooping petals, with a dark orange - marmalade cone centre from June onwards, fading to a light charcoal, and standing well into the winter, even the dead stems & flower heads give structure when covered in dew or frost.

Plant Echinaceas in well drained soil in full sun & they will reward you with months of flowers.
