Echinacea purp. 'Primadonna Deep Pink' is a cultivar of the coneflower genus Echinacea (family Asteraceae), a group of herbaceous plants that produce large composite flower heads. Members of the genus occur naturally in open habitats and prairies of North America, and this cultivar carries that architectural flower form into garden use. It flowers in the UK from July to October. Choose an open, well-lit spot where the plants receive plenty of daylight; wild relatives of Echinacea grow across a range from wetter to drier prairie soils, so Primadonna Deep Pink tolerates a variety of garden soils but performs best where roots are not constantly waterlogged. Incorporate some organic matter into heavier soils to improve drainage and avoid permanent wet at the crown. Use this cultivar in mixed herbaceous borders, perennial drifts or prairie-style schemes where upright flower stems can be seen from paths and sitting areas. The prominent, spiny central cone that gives the genus its name provides a firm shape to the flower head and remains a distinctive element of the plant's summer display.
