love the top pink one Girlfrom Belgium.. goregous.. i struggle to get them to grow in my sandy soil.. (like a beach) even thou i add compost and organic matter.. they struggle. bu this year they are flowering ok not tall but ok.
yes Verdun I did let them flower, thats obviously where I went wrong, they weren't cheap either but I will have another go, none of my echineaceas have survived maybe to do with the clay soil that we have here in essex.. I bought 3 of them from the Hyde Hall flower show and they were my one extravagance and as I had grown echineaceas the previous 2 years I thought they'd be fine. Its all new to me as I'm relatively new to gardening, you certainly learn by your mistakes!!

Hmm okay so I should take away all the flowers right now to get better roots,
and the flowers will be back in July right?

I so love them to
I bought the double last year, 3 of them to put with my other echineacea's and not one has come up this year, very sad as they are so pretty!
