Echinacea SUNSEEKERS BLUSH 'Ifecssblus' coneflower
Symbivit Tric (arbuscular)
Symbivit (arbuscular)SUNSEEKERS BLUSH is an improved version of SUNSEEKERS PINK coneflower, this time with two rows of ray florets making a semi-double flower. Flowers are 8-10 cm across, soft pink, and bloom atop only about 40 cm high stems from July until September. They do not change the colour significantly like for example SUNSEEKERS SALMON. Central discs are deep orange-brown, conspicuously convex, and hide plenty of nectar for butterflies, bumble bees as well as bees. Longevity of individual flowers is 2-3 weeks. Plants are compact and well-branched. Deadhead spent flowers regularly and feed the plants every two weeks during summer. Leaves are healthy, deep green, and lanceolate.
Flower colour of this variety induces tranquility and is perfectly suited to meadow-like landscapes accompanied by other perennials with soft flowers colours (knautia, gypsophilla, scabiosa, achillea, veronica or geranium) or ornamental grasses with fine-textured inflorescences such as panicum or stipa. Don’t be afraid to use a somewhat taller thalictrum which will bloom much earlier and by the time this coneflower makes flowers, thalictrum will be down to the ground with new foliage only. All the above do not require too much water and will create a perfect summer zen atmosphere of an elegant cottage landscape. SUNSEEKERS BLUSH is protected by US patent No. PP35528 from 2023.
SunSeekers is a coneflower series bred by Innoflora BV and marketed by Gootjes AllPlant BV from the Netherlands. The first part consists of varieties whose patent names begin with Apecss- and comprises of plants with single flowers of remarkably rich colours. While the second part of the series with patent names beginning with Ifecss- breaks through with a completely new and innovative design of mostly semi-double flowers which recall gerbera and dahlia rather than a coneflower or those with uniquely coloured ray florets. The first and hugely successful variety was SUNSEEKERS SALMON that was awarded Gold Medal by KVBC at Plantarium Exhibition 2018. Since then SunSeekers series is taking the coneflower world by the storm.
The plant is usually trouble-free and resistant, just be careful if slugs are present in your garden. Since coneflowers emerge quite late, often when slugs are already in their lethal strength, they could gobble up newly emerging foliage totally and thus destroy the plant before it even comes out.
