Echinacea ‘Parrot’ (Fine Feathered Series)

Echinacea ‘Parrot’ is a lively perennial that adds a burst of red and orange colour to borders, mixed beds, and containers from late summer through to mid-autumn. Its bold, daisy-like flowers rise above a neat clump of green foliage, creating height, texture, and visual impact in cottage-style and informal gardens. The striking combination of red and orange tones makes it a standout feature and adds warmth to any outdoor space.

This variety thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and is relatively easy to grow, though it benefits from frost protection during harsh winters to preserve its blooms and ensure longevity. Deadheading spent flowers encourages further flowering, extending the colourful display late into the season.

Loved by pollinators, bees and butterflies are drawn to its nectar-rich blooms, enhancing biodiversity and supporting wildlife-friendly gardens. Its tidy, clump-forming habit also makes it ideal for containers, where it can serve as a focal point, or complement other perennials in layered planting schemes.

With its bold late-summer colour, extended flowering period, and pollinator-friendly nature, Echinacea ‘Parrot’ is a versatile and striking choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, ecologically valuable, and visually captivating perennial.
