Pollinator Friendly RHS Award of Garden Merit

Echinacea ‘Green Jewel’ produces gorgeous lime-green blooms in midsummer — the unusual shuttlecock-shaped flowerheads contrast beautifully with yellows, reds and oranges, and last well into autumn.

Plant in well-drained but moisture-retentive soil in a sunny position. Suitable for coastal gardens. Looks superb in prairie-style planting schemes or cottage gardens — give Echinaceas plenty of space, as they resent competition from neighbouring plants.

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.
