Primadonna Mix Echinacea
Growing Primadonna Mix Echinacea
‘Primadonna Mix’ is a hardy echinacea blend prized for its large blooms, sturdy growth, and striking summer color. Deep rose and white petals surround warm orange-brown cones on clump-forming perennial plants, bringing structure and vivid color to beds, borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator plantings.
Start ‘Primadonna Mix’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ⅛ inch deep and space plants 18 to 24 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This drought-tolerant variety performs especially well once established and can thrive even in poor soils.
Ready to bloom in about 120 days, enjoy the flowers as they open and reach their best display stage. Sturdy stems and long-lasting blooms make this variety excellent for cutting while also attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators.
Bold, resilient, and versatile, ‘Primadonna Mix’ is an excellent choice for borders, cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, ornamental beds, and pollinator-friendly plantings.
