Description
Echinacea Sunny Days Lemon is a particularly floriferous variety with sunny and pleasantly scented flowering. It is part of the excellent series of Sunny Days echinaceas that brings together plants remarkable in every respect. Of medium stature, this selection bears large, very double flowers in a large yellow pompom with a green heart. It is a hardy and generous perennial that blooms throughout the summer. Ideal in a pot or as a border plant, it adapts to all properly prepared soils, not too dry in summer.
Native to the Western United States, from Georgia to Michigan via Oklahoma and Ohio, echinacea purpurea is a perennial with a strong character that colonizes rocky meadows, savannas, clear undergrowth, and roadside edges in its natural habitat. 'Sunny Days Lemon' belongs to a line of hybrids recently developed in the USA by Terra Nova Nurseries. It forms a dense clump 75 cm (30in) tall when in bloom (55 cm (22in) for the foliage) and 60 cm (24in) wide. This plant doesn't weaken, doesn't collapse, and demonstrates a very good posture. The opposite leaves are lanceolate and dark green, covered in rough hairs. They are clustered towards the base of the plant, exposing the flowers. The very generous flowering lasts from July to October and is loved by butterflies. The branched stems each end in a solitary flower head, adorned with a large prickly pompom surrounded by trailing petals or ligules. The fruit is an achene that releases seeds which birds are fond of. This plant anchors itself firmly and deeply in the soil, thanks to its highly developed root system.
Echinacea Sunny Days Lemon can be grown in pots or in open ground. This perennial fits well in borders mixed with other compact varieties of echinaceas or inulas, compact tritomas, achilleas, daisies, echinops, coreopsis. Lighten the scene by mixing in some ornamental grasses such as Stipa tenuifolia, Muhlenbergia capillaris... Splendid in flower beds, the beautiful colours of echinacea are also appreciated in fresh or dried flower bouquets.
A medicinal plant: In homoeopathy, the root of echinacea is used to fight colds and strengthen the immune system. Native Americans first used these properties. The name Echinacea comes from the Greek word echinos which means "hairy or like a hedgehog" and acea meaning "having the shape of", referring to the appearance of the flower's heart.

Planting and care
Echinacea Sunny Days Lemon sometimes takes time to settle as its growth is rather slow. However, once in place, it requires no particular care and is very resistant to pests and diseases. It is best planted in spring, in a sunny location, in a mix of compost and garden soil. The soil should be deep and loose to accommodate its root system. Remove faded flowers as they appear to prolong flowering. Divide the clump when flowering slows down. It is a rhizome plant that can become invasive if it likes its environment. As the plant ages, it becomes more susceptible to aphid attacks and powdery mildew. Mulch the base in May to keep it moist in summer, as it is sensitive to drought during 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).
