Description
Echinacea pallida 'Hula Dancer' is an essential plant if you want to add a touch of romance. Indeed, its long slender white petals which are tinged with pink seem to float in the wind. They are curved downwards, like a dancer's skirt, and bring a lot of lightness to the garden. They highlight a centre to the flower that swells as it blooms, changing from green to pink and welcoming autumn with purple hues. These large flowers bloom from July to September, much to the delight of pollinating insects. They are then replaced by birds who enjoy their seeds.
Originally from North America, where it has already naturally colonised many states, Echinacea has been with us for many years. Originally, it settles spontaneously in wild spaces: vast meadows, forest edges, roadsides... As a result, it is content with any type of soil, any type of climate, and displays a robustness and hardiness that gardeners appreciate. However, it prefers deep, well-drained soils and is resistant to drought. Note that it may take its time to establish itself, but then it shows resistance and longevity. It thrives in the sun, but also in light shade. It requires almost no care, except for the traditional removal of faded flowers.
It is a herbaceous perennial, belonging to the Asteraceae family, with an upright and bushy habit. The leaves are deciduous, rather dark green, and quite thick. They are lanceolate, longer and more numerous at the base, but alternate and sparse along the stems. The stems are long, 70 to 100 cm (28 to 39in) tall, sturdy, and bear large flower heads at their tops, which can reach 8 cm (3in) for 'Hula Dancer'. Their shape is very distinctive and perfect for wild-looking borders. They consist of a large, flattened centre at the beginning of flowering and a conical shape at the end, surrounded by a row of very fine florets, long and fringed at their tips. Trailing and curved, they resemble a Hawaiian skirt and bring joy to the garden. Feel free to pick them, they will brighten up summer bouquets.
Full of charm, 'Hula Dancer' can be planted at the back of borders in small gardens. It welcomes the perennial Geranium 'Dreamland', Hakanechloa macra 'Naomi', and many Heucheras in shades of pink at its feet. For a cloudy and voluminous effect in larger spaces, it can be interplanted among grasses and our giant wildflowers.

Planting and care
Echinacea pallida 'Hula Dancer' prefers a sunny position. It tolerates light shade. Plant it in a deep and well-drained soil. Nevertheless, it accepts any type of soil. It is a hardy plant that can withstand drought, heat, and moisture. It even adapts when it is close to the coast or on a slope. However, it may take its time to establish.
Prune the stems when the flowers have faded to promote the next flowering. Otherwise, leave the cones to dry on the plant to enjoy them as winter decoration. Cut the stems in early spring. Divide the stump if required to give it more vigour.

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.
