Echinacea 'Parrot' (Fine Feathered Series)
Height x Spread: 45cm x 30cm
Coneflowers remain ever popular and for good reason with their bold distinctive silhouettes and flowers that attract bees and butterflies in their droves. 'Parrot' is a very striking recent introduction with large vibrant two tone blooms, each single flower formed of bright yellow petals deeply suffused with orangey-red at their base encircling a bold copper cone. This richness continues into the lush green foliage.
Reminiscent of a rocket ice lolly, showcase its dazzling colour in a sunny container or pride of place at the front of a border, where it will flower freely from mid summer into early autumn. To get the best results, plant it in full sun in a moist but free draining soil.
