Description
'Echinacea 'Secret Glow' is a long-flowering and particularly dazzling perennial with a very sunny golden yellow colour and a prickly pom-pom shape that evolves throughout blooming. It starts with a dense and bushy daisy-shaped flower with a green centre, which gradually opens up and swells like a cushion, finally revealing petals on the outer edge. Then the achenes (their seeds) take over to the delight of the birds that feast on them. This robust plant flowers throughout summer and welcomes autumn with its charming appearance and fresh and dried bouquets.
Originating from North America, where it has already naturally colonized numerous states, the Echinacea has been with us for many years. It spontaneously settles in wild spaces: vast meadows, forest edges, and roadsides and as a result, is content with any type of soil or climate, and displays robustness and hardiness that gardeners appreciate. However, it prefers deep, well-drained soils and will establish itself more easily (and therefore withstand drought) if initially placed in moist soil. It may take time to settle, but then shows resilience and longevity. It thrives in the sun or light shade. It requires almost no care, except for removing faded flowers as desired.
It is a herbaceous plant belonging to the Asteraceae family, with an upright and bushy habit. The deciduous leaves are medium green, hairy and fairly thick, lanceolate, longer and more numerous at the base, but alternate and sparse along the stems. These stems are long, sturdy, and bear large flower heads measuring 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4in) in diameter at their tops. The numerous crossbreedings have multiplied their characteristics with many colours and shapes available. They all consist of a central cone-shaped core, often brown and sometimes cylindrical, which can become very prominent. It is surrounded by long or short petals arranged in one or several rows, giving it the simple appearance of a large daisy or, that of a dishevelled pom-pom. The variations are limitless, and everyone will find their favourite among the cultivars that are now available. Their always vibrant hues are essential in flowerbeds or containers. They also enliven the garden thanks to the pollinators they attract.
'Secret Glow' is a gem of multicoloured ensembles. Particularly at home in yellow-orange flowerbeds, it shines alongside Dahlias, Grasses, and its cousins from the same genus (Harvest Moon and Tangerine Dream). Its height (60 cm (24in)) is tall enough to be in the background in small spaces and perfect for intermingling in larger gardens, punctuating the palette of summer flowers with bright spots.

Planting and care
Echinacea 'Secret Glow' is best planted in spring or autumn in a sunny or partially shaded exposure. It does not require a particular soil, but would prefer it to be loosened beforehand to allow it to establish. Water it initially, but without excess (it does not like to have its feet in water for too long), it will then better tolerate drought.
It may take time to grow, but it proves to be robust, and resistant to diseases, adverse weather, and frost (down to -15°C (5°F)). Once established, it is long-lasting and flowering.
You can remove faded flowers throughout the season to stimulate more or leave them on the plant to attract birds from autumn and enjoy its slender silhouette all winter. You will cut the stems in early spring. Consider dividing the crown if it shows signs of fatigue: increased sensitivity to powdery mildew and sparse 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.
