Plant information

Plant Description

Echinacea ‘Delicious Strawberry’ is a striking perennial coneflower that brings height, structure, and vibrant colour to borders, beds, and patio containers. Its large, robust blooms open in rich strawberry-pink tones, surrounding a prominent central cone that adds texture and depth to summer planting schemes. Held on strong, upright stems, the flowers stand proudly above the foliage, creating architectural impact without the need for staking.

Flowering throughout the summer months, this variety delivers a long-lasting and reliable display. The nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens where beauty and biodiversity go hand in hand.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, ‘Delicious Strawberry’ is hardy in most UK gardens and becomes drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal maintenance. Regular deadheading will encourage further flowering, while leaving some seed heads later in the season can extend interest and provide food for birds.

Perfect for gardeners seeking an easy-care yet visually impactful perennial, Echinacea ‘Delicious Strawberry’ combines bold colour, sturdy performance, and ecological value — a dependable choice for adding structure and pollinator appeal to sunny outdoor spaces.

🌿 How to Care for Echinacea ‘Delicious Strawberry’ (Coneflower)

How do I prune Echinacea ‘Delicious Strawberry’ (Coneflower)?
Echinacea ‘Delicious Strawberry’ (Coneflower) should be left through the winter, as the dead wood protects them from frost. They can be pruned in early spring, and more vigorous varieties may be trimmed again around June.
Echinacea ‘Delicious Strawberry’ (Coneflower) can be susceptible to aphids, capsid bugs, whitefly, sage leafhoppers, and glasshouse red spider mites. Additionally, fungal issues like grey mould (Botrytis) can develop in cool and damp conditions, especially during overwintering.

Echinacea ‘Delicious Strawberry’ (Coneflower) require light feeding in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser or compost. Tender salvias benefit from fertilisation every 2–4 weeks during the growing season using a liquid feed for flowering plants. Over-fertilising should be avoided, as it can encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

Salvias should not be cut back in autumn, as leaving the foliage intact helps protect the plant from frost.
Echinacea ‘Delicious Strawberry’ (Coneflower) moderately drought-tolerant once established, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun. Tender salvias are less drought-tolerant and require more consistent watering.
Echinacea ‘Delicious Strawberry’ (Coneflower) performs well in UK gardens if given full sun and free-draining soil. It’s hardy in most areas, flowers for months in summer and autumn, and suits borders or containers. Avoid winter wet and prune lightly in spring.
