Echinacea purpurea Prairie Splendor is a wee bit special as it has an earlier bloom time (up to 2 weeks earlier) than other varieties. even better is that it blooms for longer too, from early summer to the first frost in mid-autumn. The huge wide, rose-pink flowers stand proud above well-branched lush green foliage. This variety is relatively short for an Echinacea, growing to around 60cm tall and 40 cm wide. Grow in full sun for the most blooms but will tolerate some shade. They prefer drier conditions but do need a regular water until established.

Prized for their large, daisy-like flowers which appear after many other perennials have finished blooming, Coneflowers are a mainstay in today's gardens, enjoying much popularity in Europe and in its native North America. If deadheaded, they will continue to bloom late into the season. However, some spent blooms should be left on the plants in fall because their seeds provide winter food for a host of birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter. Wonderful as cut flowers, either fresh with petals on or off, and as dried flowers as the cones. A great plant! Hardy perennial,
