Echinacea ‘Big Kahuna’ (Coneflower)

Echinacea ‘Big Kahuna’ is a striking coneflower that brings a splash of tropical warmth to the garden from midsummer into early autumn. Its large, daisy-like blooms open in rich shades of mango-orange with golden undertones, surrounding a prominent coppery cone. The vibrant colouring stands out beautifully in sunny borders, prairie-style planting, and patio containers, creating an uplifting focal point among softer-toned perennials.

Each flower is long-lasting and produced in succession, ensuring weeks of continuous colour. The nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, adding movement and ecological value to wildlife-friendly gardens. As the season progresses, the central cones provide additional texture and can be left for autumn interest.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, ‘Big Kahuna’ is hardy in most UK gardens and becomes drought-tolerant once established, making it an easy-care choice for busy gardeners. Occasional deadheading encourages further blooms, while leaving some seed heads extends seasonal appeal.

Bold, reliable, and full of personality, Echinacea ‘Big Kahuna’ is perfect for gardeners seeking vibrant, long-lasting summer colour with strong pollinator appeal. Whether planted in drifts or as a statement feature, it delivers warmth, structure, and effortless impact throughout the growing season.
