Echinaceas have grown in popularity in recent years, thanks to the new trend for prairie-style planting. They're easy to grow as they tolerate most soils, and their sturdy nature means that staking is unnecessary.
Echinacea 'Sunset' bears bright orange petals encircling a prominent brown cone. Its long-lived flowers are excellent for cutting and are attractive to bees and other pollinators. Grow in drifts through the centre of the border, with ornamental grasses or in large containers, in full sun.
