Eastern purple coneflower is currently considered a classic garden perennial. Our online store offers the stunning Vintage Wine variety. This beautiful ornamental plant produces large, round flowers that take on a noble burgundy-red colour. Stiff rather unbranched shoots grow about 60 centimetres tall. From June to September, the plant delights with large number of flowers that look like small saucers. Spiked centres that the plant owes its other common name, hedgehog coneflower, are surrounded by a circle of short, stiff petals that take on a deep colour. A beautiful Echinacea is rather undemanding and can be used in many different compositions.  You can grow it on borders and perennial flower beds, in natural groups, and on lawns. These erect stiff plants offer great visual experience and wonderfully contrast with ornamental grasses. We recommend growing this variety with golden sunflowers, purple sage, and the slender dense blazing star.

The Vintage Wine eastern purple coneflower can present its charm to the fullest extent at a sunny situation. It will develop best in humous, fertile, well-cultivated soil. When planting coneflowers in groups, leave appropriate spacings between the plants so each and every one can develop unhindered. A plant that is resistant to low temperatures, diseases, and pests can grow on the same site for years. It survives unfavourable weather conditions without problems and each year grows bigger and blooms more abundantly. This excellent species is worth including it in every garden where flowers rule.
