Description
Echinacea Tiki Torch is a recent, award-winning cultivar that has large heads measuring 11 to 12 cm (4 to 5in) in diameter with 'petals' in an intense and bright pumpkin orange shade, surrounding a burning red incandescent heart. This strong and reliable perennial provides extended flowering from July to early September above vigorous vegetation. It will make a good impression as a background plant in sunny borders and provide long-lasting flowers for bouquets. It adapts to difficult conditions, occasionally tolerating intense heat, humidity, and drought. It can even grow in poor soils.
Derived from the cross-breeding of E. purpurea 'Ruby Giant' x E. paradoxa, this introduction is credited to "Terra Nova Nurseries," a specialized nursery located in Oregon. This plant belongs to the Asteraceae family and descends from two species native to North American meadows. This perennial combines the qualities of strength and vigour from its two parents while offering a unique combination of colours, and abundant flowering on sturdy vegetation. It has a dense, tufted habit, reaching a height of 80 cm (32in) with a width of 50 cm (20in). This plant does not weaken or collapse, demonstrating excellent stem strength, slightly taller than other varieties. The deciduous, opposite, lanceolate, medium green leaves are covered in rough hairs. The fragrant flowering period lasts from July until the end of summer, coinciding with inulas, asters, and ornamental tobacco plants. It attracts butterflies. The branches are green-reddish, and each terminate in a solitary large head measuring 11 cm (4in) in diameter. The prominent conical disc resembles an incandescent pompom formed by tiny florets, burnt red with a darker centre, and thin, reflexed 'petals' in pumpkin orange. The fruit is an achene that releases seeds which birds enjoy. This plant firmly and deeply anchors itself in the soil with its well-developed root system.
One might think, "Ah, yet another novelty with orange flowers," but don't overlook its long flowering period and habit, which is better suited to the background of a border than to the edges, unlike E. 'Art's Pride,' which does not tolerate competition well. Echinacea 'Tiki Torch' offers a joyful flowering display, pleasant on slightly misty autumn days. It can be used in mixed borders with red or blue flowers, ranging from lavender-blue to violet and mauve, for a magnificent contrast. Combine it with inulas, aster cordifolius or laevis, yellow or orange achilleas, daisies, echinops, or paniculate phlox, and lighten the scene by intermingling some ornamental grasses such as Stipa tenuifolia or Muhlenbergia capillaris... Splendid in borders, the surprising flower of Echinacea Tiki Torch is also beautiful in fresh or dried flower arrangements.
Properties: In homoeopathy, its root is used to combat colds and strengthen the immune system. These properties were first utilized by Native Americans. The name Echinacea comes from the Greek echinos, which means "hedgehog-like or prickly," and acea, meaning "having the shape of," alluding to the flower heads. Purpurea means "purple."

Planting and care
The 'Tiki Torch' Coneflower takes time to establish 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 mixture of potting soil and garden soil. The soil must be deep and loose to accommodate its root system, but it dislikes waterlogged soils in winter. Trim the faded flowers as they appear. Divide the clump when flowering slows down. It is a plant with a rootstock that can become invasive. As the plant ages, it becomes more susceptible to aphid attacks and powdery mildew. Mulch the base in May to retain moisture in summer, as it dislikes 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.
