Where gardens grow
and giving blooms
and giving blooms
Beautiful Cécile Brünner' has small double flowers, developing from high-centered buds to form little pom-poms with a diameter of 2 to 6.5cm Their pink colour fades from the outside with age, resulting in pale pink edges with yellow undertones and a deeper pink center. The flowers appear abundantly in large clusters throughout the season, have a petal count over 50 and are delicately scented.
This lovely climber is vigorous, with very few prickles, smooth, mid green leaves, and a height of 60 to 120+ cm at an average width of 60cm.
She doesn't mind shade or poorer soils, is disease resistant and is very hardy.
This echinacea is a really unusual variety, with a striking flowerhead. The pink flowers are two tiered and look like a mini flower on top of the larger flowerhead. Single flowers are sometimes produced in the first year, but by the second year of growth you should get a good number of the double decker flowers.
Prized for their unique flowers which appear after many other perennials have finished blooming, Coneflowers are a mainstay in today's gardens, enjoying much popularity in Europe and in its native North America. If deadheaded, they will continue to bloom late into the season. However, some spent blooms should be left on the plants in fall because their seeds provide winter food for a host of birds. The dried seed heads also provide architectural interest in the winter. Wonderful as cut flowers, either fresh with petals on or off, and as dried flowers as the cones. A great plant!
Addenbrooke Garden is open all year round for Garden Tours by appointment. Guests can also select to enjoy Devonshire tea in our beautiful grounds.
