Description
Echinacea 'Sunseekers Rainbow' is one of those plants that seems to change its outfit with the seasons—or perhaps just with the week. Each bloom opens in vivid orange-yellow, gradually softening and deepening through an array of rosy pinks as the petals mature, all circling around a neat, chocolate-brown cone. This constant shifting of shades means a single clump of Echinacea 'Sunseekers Rainbow' offers a multi-toned display, as if several varieties were planted together. The flowers are held on strong, upright stems, making them excellent for cutting, while in the border they stand tall and proud, glowing from midsummer onwards.
Beyond its lively palette, Echinacea 'Sunseekers Rainbow' is a magnet for pollinators, with bees and butterflies flocking to its generous cones. The long-lasting blooms bring rhythm and warmth to borders, especially when planted in drifts where their colour-changing antics can be fully appreciated. As summer mellows into autumn, the cones themselves continue to add structure and texture, even as the petals fade. Whether you enjoy them in the garden or snip a few for a vase indoors, Echinacea 'Sunseekers Rainbow' delivers energy, movement and charm. Few plants combine such bold colour shifts with such resilience—this coneflower is more than just a rainbow, it’s a reliable highlight of the summer garden.

Useful information
-
Soak the Echinacea 'Sunseekers Rainbow' 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.
