The unique, bicolour blooms of Echinacea 'Parrot' bring to mind the colourful plumage of exotic birds. Echinacea ‘Parrot’ is a most unusual coneflower with vibrant colours that stand out beautifully in hot, sunny borders. The well branched plants flower from June to September, attracting bees and butterflies to their nectar rich blooms. This hardy perennial is perfect for cottage gardens, wildlife areas or adding a sizzle to hot colour-themed borders. Height: 60cm (24"). Spread: 40cm (16").

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
