Exciting new arrivals in 2024. This trio of attention seekers is almost unrivalled for stunning colours and enchantingly shaped blooms. Each flower of the ‘Inventive Echinacea purpurea Collection’ has a generous, tufty top which is accompanied by a skirt of reflexed petals for dramatic, windswept impact. The magical blooms first emerge in June and keep blooming right through to October, with a little strategic deadheading to encourage further production. As sweet and sugary looking as their namesakes – flowers are a pull for bees, butterflies and other garden pollinators hunting for a feast. Your colourful ‘Inventive Echinacea purpurea Collection’ comprises ‘Lemon Drop’ with a glorious twist of citrus yellow (H: 45cm S: 60cm); ‘Marmalade’ with a joyful orange tang to its robust and ragged petals (H: 70cm S: 60cm); and sumptuous ‘Southern Belle’ in rich shades of magenta pink (H: 75cm S: 50cm). Echinacea prefer a moist, well-drained soil of any kind except heavy clay. Position in full sun or partial shade and these hardy (H5), herbaceous perennials will die back below ground over winter, re-emerging in spring the following year.
