Echinacea in bedding
Echinacea Moench.
Echinacea is a structural perennial valued in bedding for its ability to maintain an upright habit and inflorescence attractiveness after flowering.
In the reference 18 varieties crop Coneflower, where this is mentioned in the description.
Due to the lignified base of the stems, Echinacea does not flop, allowing it to be used in the middle tier of a flower bed without additional support. To achieve a visual impact, planting in groups of 5 or more specimens is recommended, as solitary plants are lost in compositions.
Agronomic placement features include the necessity for sunny exposure and good root system drainage to prevent waterlogging. In landscape planning, it is important to account for the need to divide the clump every 4–5 years due to the risk of central root dieback and loss of aesthetic appeal.
