Echinacea pallida

Large, pale pink flowers overlain with pewter with prominent burnt orange centres from July to September. This lovely coneflower grows wild in the North American prairies and glades but looks just at home in the garden border. The unusual downward facing petals are much finer than Echinacea purpurea, making it an unsual cut flower. Like all coneflowers, it copes well with adverse weather conditions. Supplied in 1-2 litre containers.
