Echinacea purpurea ‘Pretty Parasols’ (‘JS Engeltje’) (Coneflower)

Echinacea purpurea ‘Pretty Parasols’ is a charming, clump-forming perennial that brings a touch of elegance to sunny borders, mixed beds, and containers. Its white flowers with soft pink accents sit gracefully atop upright stems above tidy green foliage, creating height, structure, and seasonal interest. Blooming from mid-summer through to early autumn, these delicate blooms stand out in the garden, adding a subtle yet captivating display that complements other perennials and ornamental grasses.

Highly pollinator-friendly, ‘Pretty Parasols’ attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, supporting a lively and ecologically rich garden environment. Naturally hardy, it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil, with frost protection recommended only in exceptionally severe winters to ensure continued vitality.

To extend the flowering season, deadheading after the first flush of blooms encourages a second wave of flowers, maintaining a vibrant and dynamic display throughout the summer months. Its tidy, upright habit also makes it ideal for container planting, where it can serve as a striking focal point or complement other plants.

With its graceful white-pink flowers, pollinator appeal, and low-maintenance habit, Echinacea purpurea ‘Pretty Parasols’ adds long-lasting colour, elegance, and ecological value to any sunny garden or container planting
