Description
Echinacea purpurea 'Paradiso Yellow' is a variety of this generous perennial with yellow flowers. It is fairly tall, with an upright habit and presents flower heads of a warm and soft yellow, with prominent orange centres and trailing ligules. They bloom from July to September and are loved by butterflies. The robust Echinacea is ideal in flower beds and makes beautiful bouquets of fresh or dried flowers. It is easy to sow in ordinary soil.
Native to the western United States, from Georgia to Michigan through Oklahoma and Ohio, the Echinacea is a perennial with a strong character which confidently colonises rocky meadows, savannas, clear undergrowth and roadside edges in its natural environment. This formidable pioneer shows a dense and erect tufted habit, 1 m tall and about 40 cm wide, with rapid growth. The deciduous, lanceolate, green, opposite leaves are covered in rough hairs. The fragrant flowering takes place from July until the end of summer, accompanying that of inulas, asters and ornamental tobaccos, and is loved by butterflies.
'Paradiso Yellow' is a variety that forms a tuft 80 cm tall and 40 cm wide when mature. Its reddish-green, branched stems are topped with a solitary inflorescence in a large 8 cm diameter head, with a prominent disc, like a cone of tiny coppery-orange florets. The outer collar is composed of slightly trailing yellow ligules. The fruit is an achene, releasing seeds that birds love. This plant firmly and deeply anchors itself in the soil, thanks to its highly developed root system.
Echinacea is a very robust plant that adapts to difficult conditions, occasionally tolerating intense heat, humidity, and drought. It even manages to grow in poor soils. It has a flowering period that can be enjoyed in summer and early autumn. It is very beautiful in the middle of a flower bed, mixed with flowers of contrasting shapes, such as daylilies, yarrow, asters, salvias, thistles, or phlox. Clumps of grasses complete and lighten the scene.
Properties: In homoeopathy, its root is used to fight against colds and to strengthen the immune system. These properties were first used by Native Americans. The name Echinacea comes from the Greek echinos which means "bristly or like a hedgehog" and acea for "having the shape of", alluding to the hearts of the flowers. Purpurea means "purple".

Planting and care
Sow the seeds of Purple Coneflower early in spring, from March to May, under cover, in trays filled with seed compost, kept at 20-25°C. Cover the seeds with 1.5 cm of compost. Germination takes 7 to 21 days. Take out the seedlings to harden the plants gradually, in a cooler area. Then transplant the plants when they are large enough to handle and all risk of frost has passed, maintaining a distance of 30 cm between each plant. You can also sow from May to July outside, directly in place, in a well-cleaned and well-prepared soil. Thin out the seedlings to leave only one plant every 30 or 40 cm, in full sun. Echinacea takes time to establish, its growth is rather slow. But once established, it requires no special care and is very resistant to pests and diseases. It is best planted in spring, in a sunny location, in a mixture of compost and garden soil. The soil should be deep and loose to accommodate its root system. Remove faded flowers as they appear. Divide the clump when flowering slows down. It is a rhizomatous plant that can become invasive if it likes its environment. As the plant ages, it becomes more susceptible to aphid attacks and powdery mildew. Mulch the base in May to retain moisture in summer, as it is sensitive to water shortage during flowering.

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.
