Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Echinacea ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ is seed-raised, so each plant can flower in a slightly different shade. It’s a brilliant way to get a blended, natural-looking palette in one planting.

Echinacea ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ produces a vibrant mix of coneflower blooms in warm summer shades, bringing long-lasting colour and a wildlife-friendly feel to sunny borders and cutting gardens.

Reaching around 60–70cm tall, it forms sturdy stems topped with classic daisy-like flowers with a central cone. It flowers from summer into early autumn and is excellent for bees and butterflies.

Plant in full sun (or light shade) in deep, well-drained soil. Coneflowers dislike winter waterlogging, so avoid very heavy, wet soils or improve drainage with grit and organic matter.

Water to establish, then keep on the drier side once settled. Deadhead to extend flowering, or leave seedheads for structure and birds. Cut stems back in late winter or early spring.

Ideal for prairie-style planting, mixed borders and cut flowers, echinacea pairs beautifully with grasses, kniphofia and late-summer perennials for a long season of interest.

Where to Plant:

Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil. Echinacea prefers full sun for the best flowering, and it copes well with drier conditions once established.

How to Plant:

Plant in spring when the soil has warmed. Set the crown at soil level, space 30–45cm apart, and water in thoroughly. Improve drainage in heavy soils with grit.

Aftercare:

Water during the first season and in prolonged drought. Deadhead to prolong flowering, or leave seedheads for winter interest. Cut back in late winter and avoid frequent disturbance.
