Echinacea, also known as the Coneflower, are hardy perennials that flower at the height of summer and continue until the first autumn frosts. The name refers to the cone-shaped centre of the large, brightly coloured flowers.

'Evolution Colorific' has classic Echinacea flowers, daisy-like and packed with petals in vibrant pink hues with green central cones from July onwards. Carried on long, straight and sturdy stems, they are wonderful cut flowers and are adored by bees and butterflies and once they fade, birds will feast on the seeds, so try to resist the temptation to deadhead the later season blooms.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting, reaching a height of 50cm (20in) and a spread of 65cm (2ft).
