Description
This very floriferous variety of Echinacea purpurea, 'Feeling Pink' is covered, all summer long, with numerous pink flower heads with an orange heart. These are excellent cut flowers and they bring joy to bees and other pollinating insects. It forms a compact, upright clump 60 cm tall and 40 cm wide, perfect for pots. It also thrives in a sunny border with well-drained soil. Hardy and drought-resistant, it is easy to sow and grow.
From the Asteraceae family, Echinacea purpurea is a herbaceous perennial endemic to North America. It grows in the dry prairies of the eastern United States or in sparsely wooded areas, heathlands or cultivated land. Rudbeckia 'Feeling Pink' forms a dense clump about 60 cm tall and 40 cm wide. From June to September, it is covered in numerous, 6 to 7 cm diameter flower heads. Their petals are pink and slightly trailing, and they have a prominent, orange-brown heart. Its deciduous leaves are dark green and its stems are hairy.
The compact, 'Feeling Pink' variety is ideal in a pot on a balcony or terrace, where it will reward you with its generous flowering. In the garden, plant it in the sun, ideally in moistand well-drained soil. Cold-resistant and drought-resistant Echinacea purpurea 'Feeling Pink' is an easy plant that will fit in any garden. For a natural garden, pair it with the grass Stipa capillata. Play with shades of pink with phlox paniculata Europa and Eupatorium maculatum Atropurpureum. In a romantic style with contrasting elements, combine it with Echinacea JS Engeltje Pretty Parasols with its astonishing bicoloured, pink and white flowers, and David Austin Gabriel Oak, an English rose with dark purple-pink flowers.

Planting and care
Sow the seeds of 'Feeling Pink' Echinacea indoors from March to May in seed trays filled with seed compost, kept at 20-25°C. Soak the seeds in warm water until they swell. This promotes germination, which can take between 5 and 20 days depending on the conditions. Do not cover the seeds too much as they need light to germinate. When your plants have 4 leaves, transplant them into pots. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15 days. When your plants are large enough to handle and when all risk of frost has passed, plant them in the sun in moist, well-drained soil, in pots or a bed, with a distance of 20 cm between each plant.
You can also sow directly in place, from May to July (daytime temperatures of at least 20°C), in well-prepared soil. Thin out the sowing to leave only one plant every 20 cm, in full sun.
This is an easy perennial plant that requires no special care and is highly resistant to pests and diseases. Only snails and slugs threaten its young leaves in spring. Remove faded flowers as they appear. You can keep the last few in place at the end of flowering, they will dry and provide a decorative touch during winter. Every year, before the vegetation resumes in spring, clean the clump.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
