A herbaceous perennial plant with stunning pink/ purple flowers late into the Autumn. Echinacea is one of the more well-known and studied medicinal plants, and because of overharvesting of wild populations has now become rare in the wild. The flowers are also beautiful in the garden and lovely as a cut flower. It grows easily in this climate, although prefers a well-drained spot as the roots can get damaged in wet winters. The new spring growth is also very attractive to slugs and may need some additional protection.

Echinacea sowing tips: Sow seeds from early spring. Cold stratification for a couple of weeks can improve the germination rate and speed, but seeds should generally germinate within 2 weeks. Pot on and plant out at 30 x 60cm apart. The new spring growth is also very attractive to slugs, so may need some additional protection.
