The flowers stand tall on sturdy stems, making them perfect for cutting and adding to floral arrangements.

For optimal growth, plant Echinacea ‘Delicious Candy’ in a sunny position with well-drained soil.

Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and a profusion of flowers. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. In late autumn, cut back the stems to ground level to prepare the plant for winter and encourage vigorous growth in the following season.
