Description
It’s a little beauty by name and by nature, Echinacea 'Mini Belle' is a compact coneflower, prolific during summer with hot-pink tutu-like blooms. Grow this perennial in containers or towards the front or middle of a border and let it establish over the years into a joyous patch of pink flower power. Echinacea 'Mini Belle' provides a bucket-load of colour which lasts from mid to late summer once established. Once the clump grows there’ll be plenty of stems to pick for cut-flower creations as well as for the pollinators to enjoy in the garden!
Echinacea purpurea 'Mini Belle' are easy, low-maintenance perennials which return year after year with more of a show each time. In the first year they often produce a few blooms, but each year the clump will spread a little and there will be more fabulous flowering stems to bring petal pizazz to your planting scheme. Echinacea 'Mini Belle' looks fabulous planted among other echinaceas, Gypsophila or ornamental grasses, thriving in a full sun or part shade position with damp but free draining soil.

Useful information
-
Soak your Echinacea 'Mini Belle' 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.
