Description
Echinacea 'Flamingo' is a new hybrid from the 'Supreme' series. The varieties that make it up are truly extraordinary, with the number of flowers produced, their size, their shape, and the performance of each plant in the garden. This one offers sublime fully double flowers with a rare colour that blends several shades of warm pink. They bloom for long weeks in summer, on an upright plant that stands proud in the borders. It is also a hardy perennial, resistant and easy to grow for all gardeners.
Native to the western United States, from Georgia to Michigan through Oklahoma and Ohio, Rudbeckia purpurea is a perennial with a strong character, which confidently colonizes rocky meadows, savannas, clear understories and roadsides in its natural environment. It has produced numerous cultivars with varied colours and sizes through hybridization with other species. All these plants belong to the asteraceae family and bear inflorescences organized in heads, which we commonly call 'flowers'.
'Supreme Flamingo' has an upright habit, with a branched tuft from the base, and reaches approximately 60-65 cm (24-26in) high and 35-40 cm (14-16in) wide. This plant shows very good resistance and generally does not require staking. The opposite, lanceolate, green leaves are covered in rough hairs. Flowering occurs from July to September-October, slightly fragrant and loved by butterflies. The branched, green-reddish stems are each topped with a solitary flower head 7-8 cm (3in) in diameter, with a centre covered in small petals dominating a collar of longer, slightly drooping petals. The colour is a fairly soft coral pink enriched with shades of shrimp rose, with a touch of coppery pink. The fruit is an achene that releases seeds that birds are fond of. This plant firmly and deeply anchors itself in the soil, thanks to its well-developed root system.
Echinacea 'Supreme Flamingo' has remarkably colourful flowering, which brings a lot of character to even the simplest decor. It can be used in mixed borders with other white varieties, or with easy and generous annuals such as love-in-a-mist, poppies, amaranths, or centaureas. Complete the scene by mixing in some ornamental grasses like Mexican feather grass, Schizachyrium scoparium Blue Heaven, or pink muhly grass... Gorgeous in border plantings, the beautiful colours of Supreme Flamingo are also stunning in fresh or dried flower arrangements. Its combination with common lady's mantle is superb!
Medicinal properties: in homoeopathy, the root of the echinacea is used to fight colds and strengthen the immune system, properties first used by Native Americans. The name Echinacea comes from the Greek echinos, which means "hedgehog-like", and acea, meaning "having the shape of", alluding to the flower heads. Purpurea means "purple".

Planting and care
Echinacea Flamingo takes time to settle down as its growth is rather slow. However, once in place it requires no particular care and is resistant to pests and diseases. It is best planted in spring, in a sunny location, in a mixture of compost and garden soil. The soil must be deep and loose to accommodate its root system, but it dislikes waterlogged soils in winter that make it disappear. Remove faded flowers as they appear. Divide the clump when flowering slows down. It is a plant with rhizomes that can become invasive. As the plant ages, it becomes more susceptible to attacks from aphids and powdery mildew. Mulch the base in May to retain moisture during summer, as it fears 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).
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.
