Description
Echinacea 'Art's Pride' is a lovely hybrid Echinacea, recently obtained in the United States, which caused a sensation when it was introduced to the horticultural market in 2005. This variety is not only a very hardy perennial and remarkably floriferous, but also an original, bright, unassuming and easy-to-grow flower. Its large inflorescences resemble daisies with exceptionally delicate petals and an almost fluorescent coppery orange hue. The centre is occupied by a prominent, rounded, spiky cone of dark colour. This variety offers abundant and fragrant flowering in June-July, and again in September-October. It will make a good impression in the background of sunny borders and provide long-lasting flowers for bouquets. It adapts to everything, except perhaps drought. It even manages to grow in poor soils.
Echinacea 'Art's Pride' is a hybrid resulting from the cross-breeding of E. purpurea 'Alba' x E. paradoxa, crowning a successful research programme conducted by the Chicago Botanic Garden. This plant belongs to the Asteraceae family and descends from two species native to North American prairies. This perennial combines the qualities of robustness and vigour of its two parents, while offering a new hue and exemplary floribundance. It has a dense clump habit, reaching a height of 60-70cm (24-28in) and a width of 50cm (20in). This plant does not weaken or collapse, showing very good stem strength on its medium-sized stems. The deciduous leaves are opposite, lanceolate, vibrant green, and covered in rough hairs. The fragrant flowering occurs from June to the end of summer, in two distinct waves. It is highly visited by butterflies. The stems are topped by a solitary large head inflorescence, with a prominent conical disc, like a glowing pinecone formed of tiny florets, first orange then bronze and finally brown. This cone is surrounded by narrow but very long ligules, slightly curved backwards, with a vibrant yet soft orange colour. This plant anchors firmly and deeply in the soil, thanks to its well-developed root system.
Echinacea 'Art's Pride' offers a joyful flowering, pleasant to contemplate on slightly misty autumn days. It is used in mixed borders with red or blue flowers, from lavender blue to violet through mauve, for a magnificent contrast. Combine it with Inulas, Aster cordifolius or A. laevis, yellow or orange Achilleas, daisies, Echinops, or paniculate Phloxes, and lighten the scene by mixing in some ornamental grasses such as Stipa tenuifolia, Muhlenbergia capillaris... Splendid in borders, the surprising flower of Echinacea 'Art's Pride' is also very beautiful in fresh or dried flower arrangements.
The scent of an Echinacea is not the same depending on the stage of flowering. Initially, when the florets are in an upright crown, the scent is barely perceptible. At full bloom, when the florets droop as if drained of their strength, it exhales a delicate honey scent, very attractive to bees, butterflies, and other insects. Once the head is pollinated, the scent takes on a more vanilla note.

Planting and care
Hybrid Echinacea are very cold-resistant and easy to grow in any moist, well-drained soil. They are less tolerant than E. purpurea and its varieties to prolonged drought and heavy, waterlogged soils in winter. A very sunny exposure should be chosen for these plants. A good garden soil, well loosened and well drained, will be perfect. Echinacea 'Art's Pride' fears competition from the roots of trees, bushes, and large perennials.
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 the conditions. As the plant ages, it becomes more susceptible to attacks from aphids and powdery mildew. Mulch the base in May to retain moisture during summer, as it is sensitive to water shortage during the flowering period.

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.
