Echinacea 'Leilani'

Echinacea ‘Leilani’ bears clear yellow flowers on strong, upright stems above a tall clump of green foliage. Terra Nova lists a 36-inch foliage height, 30-inch spread, 40-inch flowering height, July–October bloom, and USDA zones 4–9 ([cultivar profile](https://www.terranovanurseries.com/product/echinacea-leilani/)). ## Garden Use Place Leilani in the middle or back of a sunny border, in a mixed perennial bed, or in a mass where its clear yellow flowers can be seen across the garden. Its sturdy stems support the flowers without routine staking, and the long bloom season supplies stems for cutting. The 30-inch spread needs room beside neighboring plants. ## Growing Conditions Choose full sun and well-drained soil. The breeder lists average garden soil and average water for this selection. Its upright outline and tall flower stems bring vertical emphasis to mixed plantings without relying on staking. ## Maintenance Water through establishment and during prolonged dry weather. Remove faded flower heads to maintain a tidy display and encourage continued flowering, or leave some heads through winter for seed and structure. Cut back old stems when fresh growth begins in spring.
