Ok for chalk Whilst Crambe needs good drainage it doesn't follow that they want to be dry. In fact it is quite the opposite. In order to get the best out of them they actually like a rich soil with plenty of moisture during the growing season. They do suffer flea beetle damage almost routinely. However the pinprick holes in the leaves are inconsequential to a well grown plant.

Discount of 25p per plant for quantities of 3 or over Echinaceas are hardy as far as temperature goes and they are undoubtedly lovely. What is also not in doubt is that they die reliably in many people's gardens. At the root of this is the great British Winter climate. Echinaceas want moist roots and dry free flowing air; what we give them is a regular deluge followed by misty, muggy days. The consequence is fungal rots and a dead Coneflower. You can help by planting your Echinacea in an open situation where the breeze will keep the crown drier, but the stark reality is that Echinacea are not reliable in everyone's garden. As a consequence will only consider complaints about Echinacea within a month of purchase and certainly not following a Winter.
