Description
Echinacea Sun Magic® 'Vintage Yellow' is a variety of Echinacea with distinctly optimistic flowers. The colour of the sun, its large daisies are flat and horizontal, giving the plant a dynamic and cheerful appearance. Its sturdy stems bear numerous flowers throughout the summer. This perennial brightens up flower beds, sunny borders, or flower pots from the first year onwards.
Echinacea purpurea 'Vintage Yellow' belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is a horticultural creation resulting from, among others, Echinacea purpurea, native to the western United States, from Georgia to Michigan through Oklahoma and Ohio. 'Vintage Yellow' has a sturdy, bushy, upright, and dense habit, reaching 60cm (24in) in height and 45cm (18in) in width. The opposite, lanceolate, green leaves are bristly with rough hairs. Flowering occurs from July to September, and it is slightly fragrant and highly visited by butterflies. The branched stems are topped with a solitary head, measuring 10 to 12cm (4 to 5in) in diameter, with a disc surrounded by a collar of horizontal or slightly trailing ligules in golden yellow. The fruit is an achene that releases seeds that birds are fond of. This plant firmly and deeply roots itself in the soil with its highly developed root system.
Echinacea 'Vintage Yellow' is a hardy plant that adapts to difficult conditions, occasionally tolerating intense heat, humidity, and drought. Its flowering brings dynamism and cheerfulness to flower beds. Play with similar-coloured blooms but different shapes, such as those of daylilies, and Monardas. Its warm colours look stunning next to the golden or pink spikes of ornamental grasses like Stipa tenuifolia, Schizachyrium scoparium, or Muhlenbergia capillaris. Its vibrant combination with another foliage plant, Alchemilla mollis, is stunning. Lastly, it brightens up fresh or dried flower bouquets.
Note: Attention, our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant them as soon as possible, in pots, containers, or directly in flower beds.

Planting and care
Plant them in a cool and deep, well-worked soil, in a sunny location. These vigorous plants are greedy and will thrive better if you regularly provide them with a good fertilizer. Cut back faded flowers in late summer to prevent invasive sowing.
Echinaceas fear waterlogged soils in winter. The soil must be deep and loose to accommodate its root system. Cut off faded flowers as they appear. Divide the clump when flowering slows down. Mulch the base in May to retain moisture in summer, as it is sensitive to lack of water during flowering.

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.
