Growing Mooodz Echinaceas

These hardy, drought-tolerant perennials thrive on poor, sandy soils, and tolerate coastal winds. They like a lot of sun in order to flower. Wet conditions over winter may cause them to rot.

Do not divide their clumps if you don't need to, and when you do need to, move the biggest pieces you can manage without splitting them up.

In Your Garden Design

Echinacea are an increasingly popular plant for a late-summer border, and this is a glowing variety that will stand out like little pools of sunlight in the border. It is best to grow at the front of the border, so it can take the most advantage of the sun and not be overwhelmed by other plants (being of compact stature). Team with soft grasses and other late sun-lovers, such as salvias and rudbeckia, for a fashionable prairie look that will take you from late summer right into autumn. You will also be very popular with the bees. A good salvia combination is Rose Marvel. You could also try a Phlox such as Candy Stripe for a more traditional look.

A member of the Asteraceae family, although the Mooodz series was grown in Holland, Echinaceas are native to North America and were used by the Native Americans as a traditional medicine. The white settlers took onboard its healing properties and, by the beginning of the 20th century, it was the most widely used plant preparation in the USA. These days, it is used to prevent and mitigate the symptoms of a cold and infections of the airways.

The name echinacea derives from the Greek for "spiny one". The Mooodz series is designed to have complementary colours, be fast flowering and abundant in their displays.
