Characteristics
Echinacea are hardy perennial plants sold in mix trays with multiple colour varieties per tray. They reach a mature height of 60-80cm and are suitable for outdoor garden planting with a long flowering period from summer through autumn. The plants are low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and attract pollinators, making them appealing to garden centre customers.
Availability
We source echinacea from The Netherlands in mix trays featuring red, pink, orange, and yellow varieties. The mixed assortment allows retailers to offer customers choice without managing individual colour SKUs. Check our webshop for current tray availability and pricing.
