A charming hybrid cultivar for a variety of garden types, Echinacea 'Pretty Parasols' is a bi-color coneflower hybrid consisting of purple or rose-pink petals that fade into white as they age and grow from the bronze-brown cone. The 'Pretty Parasols' cultivar's summer to fall blooms have a dropping shape, reminiscent of an umbrella or parasol, supported by strong stems appearing at different heights of 2-3 feet tall. 

Echinacea 'Pretty Parasols' grows best in full sun, but tolerates partial shade and is adaptable to many soil types. This Echinacea hybrid was discovered in Belgium by a famous horticulturist, Jan Spruyt, by chance seeding in a coneflower field in Buggenhout, Belgium; according to the filed patent, 'Pretty Parasols' is a hybrid of two Echinacea purpurea cultivars. 'Pretty Parasols' is deer tolerant and attracts bees and butterflies and maintains an upright behavior through multiple seasons.
