Sun Hat (Echinacea purpurea) is a spectacular autumn flowering perennial and a favourite with garden architects and stylists. This is how you take care of these popular border plants.
A home to all markets
Originally Echinacea purpurea comes from the northeast of America where the prairies are pinkish red in late summer. The autumn flowering plant stands out in every border and makes an impression.
Landscapers like to use ornamental grasses and a combination of strong fixed autumn flowers such as the popular sun hat. Landscapers such as Piet Oudolf have long recognised this plant beauty, and especially in combination with grasses, Echinacea comes into its own.
But not only in the garden is the sun hat appreciated, also in naturopathy the plant has proven itself as a medicine for many a winter ailment. Sun hat, or rather Echinacea purpurea, should be in the spotlight. It is mainly a beautiful garden plant, but many will know the name Echinacea as an ingredient in natural medicines.
