Potsize - 1L

Echinacea pallida 'Hula Dancer'. A tall variety of cone-flower forming clumps of hairy, narrow , lance-shaped foliage. From June to October it sends up flowering stalks to 80cm (2'6") topped with large daisies comprising a typical spiky central cone and a skirt of narrow drooping palest pink petals. For well drained soils in sun
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.
