Description

Echinacea 'Southern Belle' is a new variety of echinacea with bicolour pom-pom flowers, magenta at the centre, with short light pink petals and a compact and dense habit, ideal for bordering pathways.

 

Originally from the United States, this perennial forms a dense, compact and very well-behaved clump. The deciduous lanceolate, green leaves, are covered in bristly hairs. The reddish, branching stems are topped with double, solitary bicolour flowers, 8cm (3in) in diameter. Nectar-rich and floriferous, it blooms all summer with magenta pom-pom flowers with short light pink petals.

Echinacea 'Southern Belle' thrives in fertile, deep, loamy, moist and well-drained soil, in a sunny location. Mulch the base in May to retain moisture in summer, as it is sensitive to drought. Excellent flowers for cutting or drying.

Echinacea 'Southern Belle' is used in borders, beds, and containers mixed with other varieties or delphiniums, perennial geraniums, and astilbes.
