Description
Echinacea purpurea 'Mozzarella' is a robust variety with many flowers. The large flowers with prominent hearts form a green head that opens up to pure white. Truly attractive, its voluptuous flowers are beautiful from July to September and also ideal for dried or fresh bouquets. It is a very resistant plant that adapts to difficult conditions, tolerating occasional intense heat, humidity, and drought.
Rudbeckia purpurea is a hardy perennial plant belonging to the aster family, originating from the western United States. 'Mozzarella' is a horticultural variety derived from this species. It forms a dense and compact 60 cm (24in) tall clump, measuring 40 cm (16in) wide. The stems are very sturdy, and this plant does not droop during the season. The opposing, lanceolate, green leaves are bristly with rough hairs. The fragrant flowering takes place from July until the end of summer, accompanying inulas, asters, and ornamental tobaccos. It is loved by butterflies. The very branched, green, and hairy stems are each topped by a large solitary head 12 cm (5in) in diameter and with a prominent disc, resembling a pompon of tiny green florets which then turns cream. Around the heart, the white petals are thin, rolled up, and trailing. Birds are fond of the seeds. This plant firmly and deeply anchors itself in the soil, thanks to its highly developed root system.
Rudbeckia 'Mozzarella' offers a very gentle flower colour, easy to mix with echinaceas in brighter tones. It is used in border beds mixed with other white flowers with contrasting shapes (shrubby salvias, dwarf gladioli, daylilies, carnations) or alongside inulas, asters, yarrows, daisies, lightened by the presence of some ornamental grasses. It also adapts well to container gardening.

Planting and care
Echinacea 'Mozarella' takes time to settle in; its growth is rather slow. But once in place, it requires no particular care and is very resistant to pests and diseases. It dislikes soils waterlogged in winter, but apart from this, it tolerates all types of soil. It is best planted in spring, in a sunny location, in a mixture of compost and garden soil. Work the soil deeply to accommodate its root system. Remove faded flowers as they appear or make frequent large bouquets. Divide the clump when flowering slows down to give the plant a boost and prevent it from weakening. It is a plant with rhizomes that can spread. Mulch the base in May to keep it moist in summer.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
