Description
In bloom all summer long, Echinacea purpurea 'Vintage Wine' is a particularly hardy variety. It amazes with its rose-purple heads, whose ligulate petals are quite short and hollowed around a huge, bright orange and brown cone. This flower is fabulous in bouquets, very lively in borders and adapts well to growing in large pots. It is also a very resistant plant, close to the species, which adapts to difficult conditions, occasionally tolerating intense heat, humidity and drought. It can even grow in poor soils.
Originally from the western United States, Echinacea purpurea is a perennial with a strong character, which does not resemble anything known, but which confidently colonizes rocky meadows, savannahs, clear undergrowth and roadside edges in its natural environment. 'Vintage Wine' is a darker form of this formidable pioneer. It has a dense tufted habit, reaching 70cm (28in) in height and 40cm (16in) in width. This plant shows very good durability. The green leaves are covered in rough hairs. The fragrant flowering occurs from July to the end of summer and is highly visited by butterflies. The reddish-green, branched stems are topped with a solitary inflorescence in a large head, measuring 6cm (2in) in diameter, with a fairly flat disc, like a pompom of tiny florets, bright orange with a smaller, darker centre, and with dark pink to raspberry, narrow and hollowed ligules, horizontally oriented. The fruit is an achene that releases seeds that birds enjoy. This plant firmly and deeply anchors itself in the soil, thanks to its highly developed root system.
The 'Vintage Wine' purple Echinacea offers very colourful flowering, pleasant to witness on slightly misty autumn days. It is used in mixed borders with other pink flowers whose forms it contrasts well with (shrubby salvias, dwarf gladioli, daylilies, carnations) or in the company of inulas, asters, yarrows, daisies, echinops, phloxes and you can lighten the scene by mixing in some ornamental grasses such as Stipa tenuifolia, Muhlenbergia capillaris...Splendid in borders, the beautiful colour of the purple 'Vintage Wine' echinacea is also stunning in fresh or dried flower bouquets.

Planting and care
The 'Vintage Wine' purple Echinacea takes its time to establish as its growth is rather slow. But in return, once in place, it requires no particular care and is highly resistant to pests and diseases. It is best planted in spring, in a sunny location, in a mix of compost and garden soil. The soil should be deep and loose to accommodate its root system, but it dislikes waterlogged soils in winter which can be fatal. Remove faded flowers as they appear. Divide the clump when flowering slows down. It is a rhizomatous plant that can become invasive if it likes its surroundings. As the plant ages, it becomes more susceptible to aphid attacks and powdery mildew. Mulch the base in May to retain moisture in summer, as it dislikes water shortage during the flowering period.

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.
