Echinacea purpurea


Echinacea purpurea

I love it and the butterflies and bees love it too.

Ooh, I hadn't realised this was attractive to butterflies. I've had a few in the house this week. I can't think why they want to come in here, but they've all found their way out so far.

Hi Karen, hope you are well. They love it. Probs you need to get some Echinacea to keep them out of the house :-)

I've got some Dawn! It's a lovely one called 'Tangerine Dream' and I'm chuffed because I've never had any success with Echinacea before, but this one is a lovely big strong grower here! I'm good thanks, though very tired today. Think I need a day off tomorrow! :))

Do you let these self seed Dawn?, I have 'Magnus' and some of the self sown seedlings have the most amazing dangly petals.
Lovely picture :-)
