Description
Spotlight your summer planting scheme with the refreshing, bright tones of Echinacea 'Honeydew'. This gorgeous coneflower has large blooms, cool colour and an extra tuft of petals for good measure. The dome of pale green shaggy petals sits on top of a ray of white petals like a melon ball on a plate—it’s a clean colourway which sits well with most styles, from contemporary gardens to relaxed multicolour melanges. Typical of coneflowers, Echinacea 'Honeydew' is a pollinator magnet, so it’ll be a bustling metropolis for bees and butterflies.
There are so many plants which combine well with Echinacea 'Honeydew'. You can create a prairie style planting scheme by growing this coneflower with other echinaceas, Helenium, Rudbeckia and ornamental grasses. You can make it part of a mixed border with dahlias, Phlox, Monarda or Crocosmia. The clump-forming perennial Echinacea 'Honeydew' will return year after year when it’s happy in its spot, give it time to establish into a good clump—it looks incredible and

Useful information
-
Soak the Echinacea 'Honeydew' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your coneflower bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery 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. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
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.
