Echinacea Mama Mia

Echinacea comes from the Greek word “echinos” meaning hedgehog in reference to the flower’s spiny centre cone.

Echinacea ‘Mama Mia’ is best grown in average, medium, well-drained but not over-dry soil. Prefers a sunny position but avoid Echinaceas drying out in hot conditions in the first 2-3 years of establishment. Once the central tap root forms these plants will be far more drought tolerant. Vigilance on slugs and snails is important through spring to avoid damage to new shoots. Mark the position of dormant Echinaceas to aid spring care and pest control. Avoid extremely low pH (acidic) soil conditions. Divide clumps when they become overcrowded (about every 4 years). Plants usually re-bloom without deadheading, however prompt removal of spent flowers improves general appearance
