PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
Spring: The optimal time to plant Echinacea ‘Sunseekers Salmon’ is in spring when the soil begins to warm. This allows roots to establish firmly before the blooming season, ensuring strong, healthy growth.
Autumn: Early autumn planting is also ideal. This gives the plant time to settle before dormancy, promoting vigorous growth the following year.
Site Selection
Sunlight: Echinacea ‘Sunseekers Salmon’ thrives in full sun. Choose a spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to encourage optimal flowering.
Soil: Well-drained soil is essential. Echinacea ‘Sunseekers Salmon’ does not tolerate waterlogged conditions, so improve drainage with compost or organic matter to prevent root rot.
Planting Instructions
Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width and equal in depth to the root ball.
Soil Preparation: Mix in compost or organic matter to enrich the soil and improve drainage.
Planting: Place your Echinacea into the hole with the top of the root ball level with surrounding soil. Backfill gently and firm to remove air pockets.
Watering After Planting: Water thoroughly to help roots establish, ensuring excess water drains away.
Watering Requirements
Growing Season: Once established, Echinacea ‘Sunseekers Salmon’ is moderately drought-tolerant. Water during dry periods, allowing soil to dry slightly between watering. Avoid overwatering.
Dormant Season: Water sparingly during dormancy; only when soil becomes excessively dry.
Feeding
Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support strong new growth and vibrant blooms.
Mid-Summer: A light summer feed can prolong flowering and maintain vigour in Echinacea ‘Sunseekers Salmon’.
Pruning and Deadheading
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous bloom and maintain a tidy appearance.
Autumn Pruning: Cut back Echinacea ‘Sunseekers Salmon’ to ground level after flowering ends. This prepares the plant for dormancy and encourages healthy regrowth next season.
Mulching
Spring: Apply mulch around the base to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature.
Winter: Mulch protects roots from cold and prevents frost heaving, helping the plant survive through winter.
Supporting the Plant
Echinacea ‘Sunseekers Salmon’ generally has strong, upright stems, so staking is rarely necessary. In exposed areas, staking may help prevent damage.
Final Tips
Echinacea ‘Sunseekers Salmon’ is a low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly perennial that adds striking colour to any garden. Plant it in full sun with well-drained soil and follow this care routine to enjoy a vibrant display from June to September.
