Planting and care

Echinacea Tomato Soup enjoys a sunny or slightly shaded exposure. Plant it in regular, moist and deep soil, preferably well-drained. It withstands climatic variations such as drought, heat and humidity, and accepts any type of soil. Echinaceas are greedy, so regularly add good fertilizer for them to thrive. Prune the stems when faded flower stems to promote more flowers. Tip: Protect it during the winter in the first year of cultivation.
