Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.

Echinacea
'Yellow Passion'
coneflower
Be bold with colour and introduce Echinacea 'Yellow Passion' into your planting scheme. You’ll find this sunny shade of yellow adds warmth to your palette whilst contrasting vividly among neighbouring blues and purples, accentuating and highlighting the cooler colours in your border. Or, if your garden has a more contemporary and less floral style, the golden glow and simple shape of coneflowers like these perfectly complement soft ornamental grasses and other verdant foliage plants. If cottage or boho garden is more on your wavelength, there’s got to be some blocks of brilliant yellow to add to the spectrum of colours you’re flaunting. In all respects, Echinacea 'Yellow Passion'works anywhere!
Echinacea 'Yellow Passion', like most coneflowers, is loved by pollinators which will visit the flowers regularly, bringing your garden to life with a busy buzz. Flowering through most of summer, this variety not only looks great outdoors but can flower repeatedly if the blooms are regularly cut – you can create pretty posies with equally vibrant flowers or mingle them among grassy foliage for a more muted, summery bouquet. Plant your Echinacea 'Yellow Passion' bare roots into temporary pots to get them off to a gentle start, then transfer them into the garden when they’ve established some growth and look forward to a clump of coneflowers which improves ever year as it matures.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
