Product description
A variety of coneflower with bright Summer colours and beautiful, profuse blooms. The Echinacea ‘Sunseekers Salmon’ is a rather compact herbaceous perennial shrub with narrow, deep dark green leaves and stems bearing large semi-double flowers with many narrow petals of pink and yellow-cream shades which surround a large, rounded red centre cone. These blooms are long lasting, appearing from the start of Summer through to the Autumn.
Plant in humus-rich, fertile, well-drained soils and keep in full sun. Tolerant of partial sun. Gradually move them outside for transplanting to the desired location as these plants dislike being uproot and will take a while to re-establish roots and begin to grow.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a grower’s pot.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Deadhead spent blooms to extend flowering and encourage new growth. Leave some seed heads for winter interest and to attract wildlife like birds.
How to Water
Water young plants regularly during their first growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Once established, Echinacea is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering.
How to Plant
Plant Echinacea in well-drained soil in a sunny location. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and firm gently. Space plants 30-60cm apart. Water thoroughly after planting to help them settle.
