Echinacea 'Pretty Parasols' (Ships in Spring)

Coneflower

Echinacea 'Pretty Parasols' is a graceful, multi-toned coneflower that opens with pale pink petals, deepening to soft rose as they age—often displaying multiple hues on a single stem. Its elegant, single-flowered form blooms from summer through fall, gently swaying atop tall, sturdy stems. Pollinators are frequent visitors, and its drought tolerance makes it a charming, low-maintenance addition to sunny, well-drained gardens or naturalized plantings.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Echinacea 'Pretty Parasols' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: Plant bare roots in early to mid-spring after the danger of frost has passed. Soak roots in water for 3–6 hours before planting to rehydrate. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root mass and deep enough to spread the roots out comfortably. Position the crown just at or slightly below soil level, then backfill and water thoroughly.
Location: Choose a sunny site (6+ hours daily). Echinacea thrives in open, well-lit spaces and tolerates poor soils once established.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0). Avoid soggy or compacted areas.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during establishment. Once new growth appears, reduce watering—Echinacea is drought-tolerant once established.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. No winter protection needed in most climates.
Fertilization: Minimal feeding required. Compost in spring is usually sufficient. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers.
Pruning: Deadhead to encourage reblooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and wildlife. Cut back in late winter or early spring.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3 to 4 years in spring or fall. Some varieties self-seed readily.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free and deer-resistant. Good air circulation helps prevent mildew.
