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 compact variety should withstand strong winds an exude the colour of the mediterranean in your garden. 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. Team with soft grasses and other late sun-lovers, such as salvias and rudbeckia, for a glowing prairie look that will take you from late summer right into autumn. You will also be very popular with the bees. Dahlias and cosmos would look fabulous with these too. For a lovely soft look combine with Gerrie Hoek and cosmos Daydream. Lupin Masterpiece is an ideal companion plant too and intersperse with delphiniums.

The name echinacea derives from the Greek for "spiny one".
