Lovely Lolly Echinacea brings a festive atmosphere to the garden with bright pink pom poms on deep purple stems. Perfect for the border, try them in mixed containers or anywhere that needs a bright pop of color. Coneflower is adored by butterflies, bees and seed-eating wild birds. Once they are established, plants are drought tolerant and will thrive in sunny locations with almost any soil type as long as it is well-drained. Deer and rabbits tend to avoid them.
Companion Planting: Achillea, Coreopsis, Delphinium, Geranium, Grasses, Hemerocallis, Monarda, Phlox
Lovely Lolly Echinacea Plant Care Instructions: Keep the plant well-watered for the first 3-4 weeks. After that, only water if the plant starts looking droopy. Spent flowers should NOT be trimmed back if you want to attract songbirds as they enjoy the dried seed heads. Cut it back to the ground in early spring before the new growth starts. This is also a good time to apply fertilizer for the year.
