Description
Echinacea purpurea 'Espinosa Yellow' bears beautiful bright yellow flowers, with slightly drooping petals. This superb and tall variety of purple coneflower forms a large bouquet of prominent cone-shaped flowers, brown-orange, for almost 3 months. It blooms from the first year. The plant, with sturdy stems, maintains a neat upright appearance in beds while providing good flowers for fresh or dried bouquets. Purple Echinacea is also a very resistant plant that is easy to grow in the garden. Its lightly scented flowers are visited by butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.
Native to the Western United States, from Georgia to Michigan through Oklahoma and Ohio, Echinacea purpurea (or Rudbeckia purpurea) is a perennial with a strong character, which does not resemble anything known, but which confidently colonizes rocky meadows, savannahs, open woodlands, and roadside edges in its natural habitat. 'Espinosa Yellow' Echinacea is a horticultural selection. Once mature, it displays an erect bushy habit and measures from 80cm (32in) to 1m (3ft) in height and 50 to 60cm (20 to 24in) in width. This plant does not weaken or collapse, demonstrating very good resilience. The opposite, lanceolate, green leaves are covered in rough hairs. The flowering takes place from July to late 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 12 to 15cm (5 to 6in) diameter head, with a prominent conical central disk composed of tiny brown-orange florets. The cone is surrounded by fairly thin, slightly drooping yellow ligules. The fruit is an achene releasing 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 vegetation, deciduous, dries up in autumn.
The 'Espinosa Yellow' Echinacea offers a long-lasting, brilliant and luminous flowering, pleasant to contemplate until the beginning of autumn. It will be planted in large borders and mixed flower beds with other flowers whose shapes contrast (ornamental tobacco plants, daylilies, columbines, phlox) or in the company of asters, yarrows, Leucanthemums. Lighten the scene by mixing in some ornamental grasses such as Stipa tenuifolia, Muhlenbergia capillaris... Splendid in flower beds, the beautiful color of the purple echinacea is also very attractive in fresh or dried flower bouquets.
The fragrance of Echinacea is not the same at every stage of flowering. Initially, when the florets are in an upright crown, the scent is barely noticeable. At full bloom, when the florets droop as if drained of their strength, it exhales a fine honey scent, very attractive to bees, butterflies, and other insects. As soon as the head is pollinated, the scent takes on a more vanilla note.
Virtues: In homeopathy, its root is used to fight against colds and to 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 "like a hedgehog," and acea for "having the shape of," in reference to the flower heads. Purpurea means "purple".

Planting and care
The 'Espinosa Yellow' Purple Coneflower takes its time to establish; indeed, its growth is rather slow. But in return, once in place, it requires no special care. It is preferably planted in spring, in a sunny location, in a mixture of compost and garden soil. Purple coneflowers dread waterlogged soils in winter. The soil should 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, if it likes its surroundings, can become invasive. 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 scarcity 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.
