This very floriferous variety of Echinacea purpurea, 'Feeling Pink' is covered, all summer long, with numerous pink flower heads with an orange heart. These are excellent cut flowers and they bring joy to bees and other pollinating insects. It forms a compact, upright clump 60 cm tall and 40 cm wide, perfect for pots. It also thrives in a sunny border with well-drained soil. Hardy and drought-resistant, it is easy to sow and grow.
From the Asteraceae family, Echinacea purpurea is a herbaceous perennial endemic to North America. It grows in the dry prairies of the eastern United States or in sparsely wooded areas, heathlands or cultivated land. Rudbeckia 'Feeling Pink' forms a dense clump about 60 cm tall and 40 cm wide. From June to September, it is covered in numerous, 6 to 7 cm diameter flower heads. Their petals are pink and slightly trailing, and they have a prominent, orange-brown heart. Its deciduous leaves are dark green and its stems are hairy.
The compact, 'Feeling Pink' variety is ideal in a pot on a balcony or terrace, where it will reward you with its generous flowering. In the garden, plant it in the sun, ideally in moistand well-drained soil. Cold-resistant and drought-resistant Echinacea purpurea 'Feeling Pink' is an easy plant that will fit in any garden. For a natural garden, pair it with the grass Stipa capillata. Play with shades of pink with phlox paniculata Europa and Eupatorium maculatum Atropurpureum. In a romantic style with contrasting elements, combine it with Echinacea JS Engeltje Pretty Parasols with its astonishing bicoloured, pink and white flowers, and David Austin Gabriel Oak, an English rose with dark purple-pink flowers.

Botanical data
Sow the seeds of 'Feeling Pink' Echinacea indoors from March to May in seed trays filled with seed compost, kept at 20-25°C. Soak the seeds in warm water until they swell. This promotes germination, which can take between 5 and 20 days depending on the conditions. Do not cover the seeds too much as they need light to germinate. When your plants have 4 leaves, transplant them into pots. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions for 10 to 15 days. When your plants are large enough to handle and when all risk of frost has passed, plant them in the sun in moist, well-drained soil, in pots or a bed, with a distance of 20 cm between each plant.
You can also sow directly in place, from May to July (daytime temperatures of at least 20°C), in well-prepared soil. Thin out the sowing to leave only one plant every 20 cm, in full sun.
This is an easy perennial plant that requires no special care and is highly resistant to pests and diseases. Only snails and slugs threaten its young leaves in spring. Remove faded flowers as they appear. You can keep the last few in place at the end of flowering, they will dry and provide a decorative touch during winter. Every year, before the vegetation resumes in spring, clean the clump.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
