• Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, planting the Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) seeds 1/4" deep and lightly compacting the soil. Some say For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 90 days before direct sowing;
• keep the soil consistently moist until germination But i do not do that with my seeda and they germinate just fine by direct sowing them in spring after last frost, just make sure to keep them moist at all times until they germinate.
• It is much better to use seed trays in my opinion and then transplant them when ready. Thin or transplant the seedlings.
• Growing: Water seedlings until they become established. Unlike most coneflowers, Purple Coneflower does not do well in drought conditions and needs adequate moisture. The area should be well-drained to avoid soggy soil
• Keep competition to a minimum in the first year of growth, since this plant cannot reach its full potential when crowded by weeds. After several years of growth, mature plants can be divided in late fall. This plant attracts hummingbirds, butterflies and bees.
• All multiple orders of the same seed are put in the same bag. For example if you order 500 beefsteak tomato seeds x 3 then 1500 seeds will be put in the same bag. We do not send out 3 individual bags with 500 in each. This goes for all seeds unless they are listings of different seeds
