Description
Echinacea purpurea little magnus is a dwarf variety of Echinacea. This popular perennial has a compact and upright habit with smooth and vigorous stems that are green, tinged with red. It has a fast growth rate and blooms from July to September. Its compact habit showcases large deep pink solitary flowers that measure 8 to 15 cm (3 to 6in) in diameter. Its conical brown-purple cone measures 3 to 8 cm (1 to 3in) long. The colouring of the Little Magnus is more intense and darker than the typical variety.
This rudbeckia attracts birds and butterflies and has deciduous green foliage. The leaves on the stem are ovate to lanceolate, while the basal leaves, measuring 4 to 15 cm (2 to 6in) long, are ovate and dentate, covered in rough hairs. Native to the United States (from Michigan to Virginia), this echinacea is not tall, it does not exceed 60 cm (24in) in height. It is a very hardy perennial.
Echinacea purpurea is a nectar-rich plant, it contains substances collected by pollinating insects that will transform into honey. It is also a medicinal plant used in homoeopathy. It is suited for perennial borders as well as mixed plantings. This ornamental rudbeckia is suitable for container cultivation and makes an excellent long-lasting cut flower for dried or fresh bouquets.

Planting and care
Echinacea purpurea Little Magnus likes a sunny or slightly shaded exposure. Plant it in deep, humus-rich, fairly poor and well-drained soil, though it will accept any type of soil. It is a hardy plant that withstands drought, heat and humidity. It even adapts when it is close to the coast or on a slope. Echinacea is greedy, so regularly add a good fertilizer. Cut back the stems when the flowers have withered to promote the next 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.
