Description

Unmissable in full bloom and unforgettable in structure, Echinacea 'Green Twister' brings a truly electric twist to your summer garden. This hardy perennial produces a carnival of colour from high summer through to the first frost, combining long-lasting flower power with irresistible wildlife appeal.

Bicoloured petals steal the show - magenta-pink at the base and lime green at the tips, surrounding a bold, coppery-orange central cone that stands proudly on upright stems. The green edges become more pronounced as the plant ages, so it's a repeat performer, year after year.

Flowering from June, the long, straight stems of 'Green Twister' are ideal for cutting, while the blooms remain a firm favourite with bees and butterflies. It's even been endorsed by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators', and if you leave the seed heads standing, you'll find garden birds feasting on them into winter.

Tough, drought tolerant, and low-maintenance once established, this coneflower is ideal for mixed borders, prairie-style planting, or container displays.

Top Tips
  • Cut back the stems of faded flowers to encourage more or leave them on the plants to produce seed for your garden birds.
Care Information

Planted Potted Echinacea:

  • Grow in any fertile, well-drained humus rich soil in full sun, although some shade will be teolerated.
  • Water your potted plant well.
  • Dig a hole a little deeper and 3 x wider than the nursery pot.
  • Add a soil conditioner such as well-rotted manure to the earth removed from the hole if necessary.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
  • Place your plant in the hole at the same level at the pot.
  • Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
  • Firm in the spoil with you heel, avoiding the root ball.
  • Water well until established.
  • Echinacea are generally pest free, although young growth may be damaged by slugs.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
