Plant description
The flowerheads of these wonderful perennials are an eye-catching mix of hot pink and orange-red, so they really stand out in the summer border. Added to that, they lend themselves well to a wide range of planting styles, so will look right at home in a cottage, prairie, or (as their heads are a magnet for many beneficial insects), a wildlife-friendly garden.

How to care for Echinacea Delicious Candy ('Noortdeli') (PBR):
Lift and divide congested colonies in autumn or spring. In autumn cut back all dead flower stems to the ground. Coneflowers benefit from a spring or autumn mulch with well-rotted compost.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
