Echinacea x hybrida 'Soft Orange'
An outstanding performer, this coneflower is a high-impact perennial, featuring orange daisy flowers on long stems. The blooms retain their vibrant colour as they mature, with a prominent central orange-tan cone adding to their visual appeal. An excellent choice for attracting pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, to the garden.
Cultural
Prefers a full sun to part shade position with fertile, well-draining soil. Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established; it is cold-hardy and drought-tolerant once mature. To encourage healthy growth and prolific blooms, deadhead spent flowers and cut back the plant in early spring before new growth appears. It also benefits from a light application of compost or slow-release fertiliser in early spring.
Landscape Uses
Is perfect for pollinator and wildlife gardens, attracting bees, butterflies, and birds. This hardy perennial also thrives in cottage gardens, offering a natural, informal look, and is an excellent choice for cut flower gardens due to its long-lasting blooms. Additionally, its compact size suits container gardens and urban landscapes.
