Description
Echinacea 'Funky Yellow' is a brand new variety derived from Echinacea purpurea. Vigorous, floriferous, and resistant, it stands out with its unusual and vibrant bicolour flowering in red and gold. The flower displays a garnish of thread-like and upright petals in a harmonious mix of colours around a prominent central cone, creating a striking visual effect. This echinacea is a generous plant that will flower from summer until the first frost in sunny flowerbeds. It adapts to challenging conditions, tolerating occasional intense heat, humidity, and drought. Echinacea is useful for birds and pollinators and has its rightful place in a nature garden.
Native to the western United States, from Georgia to Michigan through Oklahoma and Ohio, Echinacea is a perennial with a strong character that confidently colonizes rocky meadows, savannas, clear undergrowth, and roadside edges in its natural habitat.
'Funky Yellow' brings something new to this intrepid pioneer: a crown of small upright petals around the central cone. This vigorous plant has a bushy tufted habit, reaching 75 cm (30in) high and 40-45 cm (16-18in) wide. Its upright, rigid, and rough stems bear opposite deciduous lanceolate green leaves covered in rough hairs. The flowering period extends from July to September-October, accompanying all the summer flowers and is loved by butterflies. The unbranched stems are each topped by a solitary 6-7 cm (2-3in) diameter head with a large and prominent central disc, initially olive green then brown-red. This central cone is surrounded by a row of short and thin upright ligules or petals, red with yellow reverses, then a second row of much larger drooping ligules, yellow with a red base. The fruit is an achene that releases seeds which are eagerly consumed by birds. This plant firmly and deeply anchors itself in the soil with its highly developed root system.
'Funky Yellow' Echinacea, with its long and somewhat psychedelic flowering, will bring a lot of dynamism and originality to sunny flowerbeds. Very easy to grow in ordinary soil, it also thrives in containers. It mixes well with other echinaceas (Eccentric, Green Jewel), as well as yarrows, small daisies ('Engelina', 'Princesse d'argent'), echinops, and heleniums in warm colours. Lighten the scene by adding some ornamental grasses such as Stipa tenuifolia, Muhlenbergia capillaris, Pennisetum orientale Karley Rose... The beautiful flowers of the 'Funky Yellow' purple echinacea are also very attractive in fresh or dried flower arrangements.
Properties: In homoeopathy, its root is used to fight against colds and strengthen the immune system. These properties were first used by Native Americans. The name Echinacea comes from the Greek echinos, which means "hedgehog-like," and acea, which means "having the shape of," alluding to the flower heads. Purpurea means "purple."

Planting and care
Echinacea takes time to establish itself and its growth is rather slow. But once in place, it requires no particular care and is resistant to pests and diseases. It is best planted in spring, in a sunny location, in a mix of potting soil and garden soil. The soil should be deep and loose to accommodate its root system. Mulch the base in May to keep it moist in summer and support its flowering. Remove faded flowers as they appear. Although it tolerates dry soils once established, it dislikes drought 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.
