Echinacea purpurea 'Starlight'
 
A compact and floriferous coneflower producing masses of large, daisy-like blooms with soft pink petals surrounding prominent copper-orange centres. Echinacea 'Starlight' flowers over a long season from midsummer into autumn, bringing colour, structure and valuable late-season nectar to the garden.
 
A magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinators, this hardy perennial is equally at home in cottage gardens, prairie-style borders and wildlife-friendly planting schemes. The long-lasting blooms also make excellent cut flowers, while the seed heads provide winter interest and food for birds.
 
Easy to grow and drought tolerant once established, 'Starlight' is a reliable garden performer that returns year after year.
