Pollinator Friendly

Echinacea ‘Fatal Attraction’ is characterised by its large, vivid pink daisy flowers carried on sturdy stems of a deep purple-black — a striking contrast that sets this apart as one of the finest pink coneflowers available. Strong and reliable, it readily attracts bees and butterflies, ideal for a wildlife garden.

Equally at home in a mixed border or container, it prefers full sun but tolerates light shade. Grow in good fertile, well-drained soil.

Plant Notes

  • Care Guide

    Plant in full sun in well-drained, reasonably fertile soil. Space generously — Echinacea dislikes overcrowding and resents competition from neighbours. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and largely trouble-free. Deadhead regularly throughout the growing season to encourage further flowers. Leave the final seed heads of the season standing through winter; they provide architectural interest and are a valuable food source for birds. Cut back to 5cm from ground level in late winter as new growth appears. Divide approximately every four years in autumn or spring, but leave undisturbed while the plant looks healthy and vigorous.

  • Good to Know

    Wildlife-friendly — the flowers are a rich nectar source for bees and butterflies, and the seed heads attract goldfinches and other seed-eating birds through autumn and winter.

    Long-lived and rewarding once established in the right conditions — good drainage and full sun are key.

    Some varieties are lightly scented — worth seeking out on a warm day.
