Echinacea purpurea ‘Southern Belle’ is a new arrival for 2024 and a dazzling attention seeker with intriguing, tufty flowers which are borne from July through to October each year. Easy-going enough for busy or novice gardeners who will love the tall – 90cm flowers, both in the garden and cut for inside the home. Foliage is verdant and bushy, emerging in March and remaining until the first frosts – offering gap-filling interest even before the pollinator-friendly blooms emerge. Your colourful and sumptuous Echinacea purpurea ‘Southern Belle’ offers rich shades of magenta pink and has a naturalising, spreading habit of around 75cm to offer generous clumps of drought tolerant flowers over time. Just remember to keep deadheading for a continuous supply from summer into autumn. Echinacea prefer a moist, well-drained soil of any kind except heavy clay. Position in full sun or partial shade and these hardy (H5), herbaceous perennials will die back below ground over winter, re-emerging in
