Key Features:
Warm Apricot-Coloured Blooms: Echinacea Fresco Apricot produces large, daisy-like flowers in a soft apricot hue, adding a touch of warmth and elegance to your garden displays.
Compact Growth Habit: Growing to around 55cm in height, this compact variety is ideal for smaller spaces, containers, and mixed borders, adding structure without taking up too much room.
Long Blooming Season: Enjoy a continuous display of vibrant flowers from June to October, ensuring months of beautiful colour.
Pollinator Friendly: The open blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, helping to support wildlife and biodiversity in your garden. Low
Maintenance & Hardy: Echinacea Fresco Apricot is a tough perennial that returns year after year with minimal care, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
Care Instructions for Echinacea Fresco Apricot: Ideal Planting Location: Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Echinacea thrives in sunny, open spaces and is well-suited for borders, containers, and pollinator-friendly gardens.
Planting Steps: Remove the plant from its 9cm pot and plant at the same depth as in the container. Space plants around 30-40cm apart to allow for healthy growth and air circulation.
Watering Tips: Water thoroughly after planting to help establish strong roots. Once established, Echinacea is drought-tolerant and only requires occasional watering during prolonged dry spells.
Feeding Schedule: Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to promote strong growth and abundant flowering throughout the growing season.
Deadheading and Pruning: Regularly deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and maintain a neat appearance. Cut back the plant in late autumn after flowering to prepare it for winter dormancy.
Winter Care: Echinacea Fresco Apricot is fully hardy and requires minimal winter care, though mulching around the base in autumn can help protect the roots in colder regions.
