Description
Echinacea purpurea 'Espinosa Green' is a very beautiful Echinacea with very large bicoloured flowers, in soft pink and pale lime green. This variety is gentle, but also full of character and originality. In summer, it forms a large bouquet of large pastel flowers with flat brown-orange heads, for almost 3 months. It blooms from the first year. The plant, with sturdy stems, maintains a neat upright appearance in borders while providing good flowers for fresh or dried bouquets. The Purple Coneflower is also a very resistant plant that is easily cultivated in the garden. Its lightly scented flowers are highly visited by butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.
Native to the western United States, from Georgia to Michigan, passing through Oklahoma and Ohio, Echinacea purpurea (or Rudbeckia purpurea) is a perennial with a strong character that resembles nothing known, but confidently colonizes rocky meadows, savannas, open woodlands, and road edges in its natural habitat. The 'Espinosa Green' Echinacea is a horticultural selection. Once mature, it has an upright tufted habit and measures approximately 80cm (32in) to 1m (3ft) in height and 50 to 60cm (20 to 24in) in width. This plant does not weaken or collapse, showing excellent durability. The leaves, opposite, lanceolate, green, are covered with rough hairs. The flowering, lightly scented, takes place from July to the end of September, accompanying that of Inulas, asters, and ornamental tobacco plants, and is highly visited by butterflies. The reddish-branched stems bear at the end of each branch an inflorescence in a large head measuring 15cm (6in) in diameter, with a flat central disc composed of tiny brown-orange florets. This central disc is surrounded by spatulate ligules: very thin at the base and then widening significantly towards the tip. They are soft pink on the lower half of the petal and pale lime green afterwards. The fruit is an achene that releases seeds that birds are fond of. This plant firmly and deeply anchors itself in the soil, thanks to its highly developed root system. Its above-ground growth is deciduous and dries up in autumn.
The 'Espinosa Green' Purple Coneflower offers a long-lasting pastel and luminous flowering, pleasant to contemplate until the beginning of autumn. It can be planted in large borders and mixed flower beds with other flowers whose forms contrast (ornamental tobacco plants, daylilies, columbines, Phlox) or in the company of asters, yarrows, and daisies. Lighten up the scene by mixing in some ornamental grasses such as Stipa tenuifolia and Muhlenbergia capillaris... Gorgeous in borders, the beautiful color of the purple coneflower is also stunning in fresh or dried flower bouquets.
The scent of Echinacea is not the same at each stage of flowering. At first, when the florets are in an upright crown, the scent is barely perceptible. At full bloom, when the florets hang down as if drained of their strength, it exhales a fine honey fragrance, very attractive to bees, butterflies, and other insects. Once the head is pollinated, the scent takes on a more vanilla note.
Virtues: 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 or prickly," and acea for "having the shape of," alluding to the flower heads. Purpurea means "purple."

Planting and care
The 'Espinosa Green' Purple Coneflower 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 compost and garden soil. The coneflowers fear waterlogged soil in winter. The soil must 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 rhizome plant that can become invasive if it likes its surroundings. As the plant ages, it becomes more susceptible to aphid attacks and powdery mildew. Mulch the base in May to keep it cool 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.
