Echinacea Bolero Rose ('Abech915')
coneflower
Echinacea ‘Bolero Rose’ produces masses of rich rosy-pink, semi-double blooms, with layers of petals surrounding prominent orange-brown central cones from early summer into autumn.
Its neat, well-branched habit makes it particularly useful for the front of sunny borders, patio containers and pollinator-friendly planting, while the sturdy stems hold the flowers neatly above the dark green foliage.
Please note that any pots in the photographs are not supplied with the plants (which are sent out in simple nursery alternatives), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Echinacea Bolero Rose ('Abech915'):
Plant Echinacea directly into well-prepared borders or larger pots and containers, spacing them at 15-20cm (6-8in) intervals. Water well after planting and while they are in active growth.
The seed heads are attractive, and are a valuable food source for birds during the cooler months, so avoid cutting them back (to just above soil level) until late winter.
Over time, Echinacea will form larger clumps with more flowering stems, so they can be lifted and divided in autumn or spring to maintain vigour and flowering performance. Taller cultivars in exposed locations will benefit from staking.
