How to care for Echinops ritro:

Echinops do well in a variety of soil types, including poor or dry soils, as long as they are well-drained. This tap-rooted plant is best left undisturbed after planting, as it can be challenging to divide or transplant once established.

To prolong flowering and prevent self-seeding, deadhead the spent blooms, though leaving them can provide a winter food source for birds, and add winter interest as the frost highlights their architectural form.

Please note:

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
