Description
Echinacea 'JS Engeltje Pretty Parasols' is a flowering perennial with an upright habit, whose pure white flowers, slightly tinged with pink at the base, bloom throughout the summer. Beautiful and attractive, this plant, favored by enthusiasts, is ideal for cutting or drying. It is also a very resistant plant that adapts to difficult conditions, occasionally tolerating intense heat, humidity, and drought. It can even grow in poor soils.
Native to the western United States, the purple coneflower is a perennial of high meadows, environments where competition with other plants is tough. 'JS Engeltje' is an upright form, about 90cm (35in) tall and 50cm (20in) wide. It belongs to the 'Pretty Parasols' series, which have sturdy stems that do not bend in the wind. They bear several flowers that do not bloom at the same time, thus extending the flowering period. The dark green, lanceolate, deciduous leaves are covered in rough hairs. Flowering occurs from July to October, and it is highly visited by butterflies and bees. The branched, green-redish stems are topped with a pure white head with an orange central disc. The base of the ligulate flowers (the "petals") is pale pink. This plant firmly and deeply anchors itself in the soil, thanks to its well-developed root system.
The Rudbeckia 'JS Engeltje' can be paired with other coneflowers, prairie plants such as Monardas, the 'Cluden Sapphire' geranium, as well as airy grasses like Eragrostis spectabilis. Once dried, the flowers will make beautiful bouquets. They can also be left in place in autumn for the delight of birds.
Properties: In homeopathy, its root is used to fight colds and strengthen the immune system. These properties were already 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 heart of the flowers.

Planting and care
Echinacea 'JS Engeltje' takes its time to establish; indeed, its growth is rather slow. But in return, once in place, it requires no particular care and is very resistant to pests and diseases. It is preferably planted in spring, in a sunny location, in a mixture of potting soil and garden soil. The soil must be deep and loose to accommodate its root system. Mulch the base in May to retain moisture in summer. Remove faded flowers as they appear. Divide the clump when flowering slows down. 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.
