Description
Echinacea 'Strawberry and Cream' is a variety of Echinacea with a delicious and fun flowering: its prominent spiky cone of pinkish-red resembles a strawberry and rests on a collar of trailing petals in a creamy white with a pinkish halo towards the centre. The plant easily steals the show in a sunny summer border where its double and bicoloured flower pairs well with equally unique, or more traditional companions. It is also a very resistant plant that adapts to difficult conditions, tolerating occasional intense heat, humidity, and drought.
Echinacea 'Strawberry and Cream' belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is a horticultural creation derived from Rudbeckia purpurea, native to the western United States, from Georgia to Michigan, passing through Oklahoma and Ohio, among others. This deciduous perennial with a strong character confidently colonizes rocky meadows, savannas, open woodlands, and roadside edges in its natural habitat. 'Strawberry and Cream' has a solid, bushy, upright, dense habit, reaching approximately 70 cm (28in) high and 35 cm (14in) wide. The opposite lanceolate leaves are dark green and covered in rough hairs. Flowering occurs from July to September, slightly fragrant and loved by butterflies. The branched stems are each topped with a solitary, double head, measuring 10 cm (4in) in diameter, with a particularly prominent and rounded spiky disk, pinkish-red in this variety, surrounded by a collar of trailing petals in creamy white. A pinkish halo infuses the petals towards the centre. The fruit is an achene that releases seeds which are eagerly consumed by birds. This plant firmly and deeply roots into the soil with its highly developed root system. Its above-ground vegetation is deciduous, drying up in autumn and regenerating in spring.
Rudbeckia 'Strawberry and Cream' delights butterflies, and its remarkable flowers add a touch of cheerfulness to borders. Play with perennials in similar colours but different forms, such as Coreopsis Ruby Red or Rosea Sweet Dreams, Digitalis or Achillea. The simplicity of ornamental grasses complements it beautifully: Stipa tenuifolia, Schizachyrium scoparium, or Muhlenbergia capillaris with their pinkish spikes. Its beautiful colours brighten fresh or dried flower arrangements. It also grows well in a large pot.

Planting and care
Plant Echinaceas in moist and deep, well-worked soil, in a sunny exposure. These vigorous plants are greedy and will thrive better if you provide them with good fertilizer regularly. They should not be short of water during the flowering period. Cut back the faded flowers at the end of summer to prevent self-seeding.

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.
