Description
Echinacea SunSeekers Apple Green is a compact variety, unusual for its apple green colour and interesting for its floribundity and good performance in borders and pots. Its flowers have many short petals, which turn white as they mature, around a slightly scented large heart that attracts many pollinating insects. They succeed each other on the plant for several weeks in summer, if care is taken to remove faded flowers. It is an easily cultivated perennial that blends very easily with all the other plants in the garden or on the terrace. Ideal for cutting or drying flowers.
Echinacea SunSeekers Apple Green is a recent horticultural hybrid. This cultivar is part of the remarkable SunSeekers series, which stands out from other echinaceas for their unique shapes and colours, which do not fade over time. SunSeeker hybrids also have exceptional vigour, producing masses of flowers carried by short stems, above narrow dark green leaves. This Apple Green variety forms a dense and stocky clump of 50-60 cm (20-24in) high and 40-50 cm (16-20in) wide. The plant does not weaken or collapse, showing very good performance. The opposite lanceolate leaves are dark green and covered with rough hairs. Abundant flowering occurs from July to September, loved by butterflies. The branched stems are each topped with a solitary flower head, with a prominent, initially green, then yellow and finally brownish central disk surrounded by pleated, acid-green petals or ligules. The fruit is an achene, releasing seeds sought after by birds. This plant anchors itself firmly and deeply in the soil, thanks to its highly developed root system.
Echinacea SunSeekers Apple Green can be grown in pots or in the ground. This perennial fits well in borders, mixed with other varieties of echinaceas or inulas, compact kniphofias, achilleas, daisies, Echinops, coreopsis, etc. Lighten the scene by mixing in ornamental grasses such as Stipa tenuifolia. Splendid in borders, the beautiful colours of echinacea are also great in fresh or dried flower bouquets.
A medicinal plant: In homoeopathy, the root of echinacea is used to fight colds and strengthen the immune system. These properties were first used by Native Americans. The name Echinacea comes from the Greek echinos, which means "hairy or like a hedgehog," and acea, which means "having the shape of," referring to the appearance of the flower's heart.

Planting and care
Echinacea SunSeekers Apple Green sometimes takes time to establish itself as its growth is rather slow. However once in place, it does not require any particular care and is very resistant to pests and diseases. It is best planted in spring, in a sunny location, in a mixture of compost and garden soil. The soil must be deep and loose to accommodate its root system. Remove faded flowers as they appear, to prolong flowering. Divide the clump when flowering slows down. It is a plant with rhizomes that can become invasive. As the plant ages, it becomes more susceptible to aphid attacks and powdery mildew. Mulch the base in May to keep it moist in summer, as it is sensitive to drought 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.
