Echinacea purpurea 'Ruby Glow' - 2026

Echinacea purpurea 'Ruby Glow' is a striking perennial that adds vibrant colour and structure to the garden. This cultivar features large, flat-topped flowers with rich ruby-red petals surrounding a prominent orange-brown central cone. The upright, clump-forming habit makes it ideal for borders, prairie-style plantings, or as a focal point in the garden. Flowering from midsummer through early autumn, 'Ruby Glow' provides extended colour and attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity.

Preferring full sun and well-drained soil, 'Ruby Glow' is drought-tolerant once established and relatively low-maintenance. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged blooming, while leaving some seed heads provides winter interest and food for birds. This cultivar pairs beautifully with grasses, rudbeckias, and salvias, adding a touch of elegance to perennial borders or mixed garden beds. With its unique appearance and ecological benefits, 'Ruby Glow' is a valuable addition to any garden.
