Description
Butterflies will not flutter by this unmissable mix of nectar-rich blooms. Echinacea 'Papillon Mix' lights up the garden with a feast of flowers in dazzling jewel-like shades, providing a perfect pit-stop for all pollinators. Echinacea, also known as coneflower, is popular not only for its benefits to bees and butterflies, they’re a trusty type which provide reliable, perennial displays which you can look forward to seeing return year after year. The colour range of this coneflower mix is on the boho side of the scale, ideal for anyone who loves to see plenty of colour-pop in the garden—think informal cottage gardens, prairie gardens and hot borders.
If you enjoy growing flowers to cut for arrangements, Echinacea 'Papillon Mix' is a great choice. They have good stem length and long-lasting blooms. Over time, this hardy clump-forming perennial will establish into larger clumps which produce more flowering stems each year. The fact they naturalise into prolific clumps is not only a fantastic trait in terms of cut flower material, but also as a garden plant as it will pad out a border for the long-term.
Our Echinacea 'Papillon Mix' is a unique blend of Echinacea Butterfly Hybrids® that feature a lovely combination of boho-shades of pink, white, red, purple, orange, and yellow. These mixed-coloured coneflowers will make a beautiful addition to any summer garden, and the unique colour combo is sure to catch everyone's attention. Their hardiness and long-lasting blooms make them an ideal choice for any sunny spot in your garden. The easy to care for Echinacea 'Papillon Mix' are sure to bring a sense of joy to your outdoor space!

Useful information
-
Soak the Echinacea 'Papillon Mix' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Mixed coneflowers" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
