Description

This plant is so fantastic that it might as well give itself a drumroll as its beater-like blooms emerge each summer. Hardy perennial Echinacea 'Drumstick Yellow' sets a steady rhythm for your garden as the flowers come and go with the seasons each year, in summer the buoyant ball-shaped flowers bob and sway, introducing a chilled-out movement to your planting scheme. Bees and butterflies are drawn to this nectar buffet, so there’s a real buzz of life about a display of these gorgeously dusky orange, fuzzy flowers.

Try Echinacea 'Drumstick Yellow' as a cut flower – they last well in a vase and have good long, stiff stems. This quirky variety would combine beautifully with flowers in shades of magenta pink and purple, both in the garden and in a bouquet. Growing to a medium height of around 60cm once established, it’s ideal for settling into a middle position in a border or a large patio container. Over time, this perennial forms a clump and each year as the clump grows, there will be more stems to enjoy. Echinacea purpurea 'Drumstick Yellow' is new and exciting and set to be a long-lasting staple in gardens of all styles, from cottage kitsch, to boho, prairie and contemporary!

Useful information

    • Soak your Echinacea 'Drumstick Yellow' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.

    • Plant your "Coneflower" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.

    • Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.

    • Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
