Product description
Echinacea ‘Pink Lemonade’ is an eye-catching summer flowering perennial boasting lush mid-green foliage and cheerful bi-coloured blooms. The large, daisy like petals surround a brown eye and are vibrant pink, fading out to yellow around the tips. These long-lasting flowers brighten the garden from June to October and act as a magnet for pollinators, turning your garden into a hive of activity.
Reaching up to 50cm tall and 40cm wide, this vigorous plant has a rounded, compact growing habit that makes it ideal for patio pots and containers as well as planting in beds and borders. As an herbaceous perennial, ‘Pink Lemonade’ dies back in late autumn to over-winter beneath ground level before emerging with fresh new growth the following spring.
Also known as Coneflower, Echinacea thrives in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-draining soil. Once established, it is relatively drought -resistant and only needs to be watered during dry spells of weather. Deadhead spent blooms to promote further flowering and prune the plant back in autumn, ready for the dormant season.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Deadhead spent blooms to extend flowering and encourage new growth. Leave some seed heads for winter interest and to attract wildlife like birds.
How to Water
Water young plants regularly during their first growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Once established, Echinacea is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering.
How to Plant
Plant Echinacea in well-drained soil in a sunny location. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and firm gently. Space plants 30-60cm apart. Water thoroughly after planting to help them settle.
