A dwarf variety useful for smaller borders, front of border positions or containers in urban gardens. Echinacea ‘Cleopatra’ bears large, fragrant, golden yellow daisies adorned with a prominent coppery-orange cone. Each bloom is about 8cm across and flowering is prolific and long-lasting, continuing for weeks from July to September. The luminous golden colour of the blooms fades to a soft creamy yellow as they age. The flowers are held on stiff, upright stems above dark green, basal leaves and are great for cutting. They are attractive to butterflies and other beneficial pollinators and perfect for wildlife-friendly gardens. Height: 45cm (18in). Spread: 50cm (20in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

1 x 2 Litre Potted Plant (KF2973)

Grow echinacea plants in a sunny or semi shaded position on moist, well drained soil. Coneflowers prefer a deep, fertile soil and will benefit from the addition of some well rotted manure or garden compost to soil, prior to planting.
Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season until coneflower plants are fully established. Deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced. In autumn, cut back faded echinacea flower stems and apply a mulch of well rotted manure to the base of the plant. Divide overcrowded plants in autumn or spring.
