Echinacea purpurea seeds: Pink Parasol
"Cone Flower"

Echinacea (asteraceae purpurea) Pink Parasol has stunning, large, deep purplish-pink blooms, with contrasting orange cones standing proudly above strong stems. Each bloom can reach 7-10cm (3-4in) in diameter compared to other varieties only reaching a diameter of 5-7cm (2-3in). Height 36-48 inches.

Once established, bushy plants produce clusters of stems adding height to your borders, attracting butterflies and beneficial insects to your garden, as well as making dramatic long lasting cut flowers.

Height 90-120cm (3-4ft)
