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, move the biggest chunks you can manage without splitting them up further.

In Your Garden Design

Echinacea are an increasingly popular plant for a late-summer border, and this is a glowing variety that should withstand strong winds. 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 glowing prairie look that will take you from late summer right into autumn. You will also be very popular with the bees. For a more classic cottage garden look combine with a pale agastache, dahlias such as Break Out and Cosmos Double Click Snow Puff. No cottage garden is complete without a rose: try a Rosa English Miss. Also partner with lupins and delphiniums.
