Echinacea (Coneflower) is a drought resistant perennial that attracts butterflies and birds. They resemble daisies with swept-back petals. Echinacea plants are long-blooming and will make an absolutely stunning addition to your garden
They prefer full sun to partial shade in well-drained soils. To encourage more flowers deadheaded your coneflower plants regularly. You can also try shearing the plants back by half or two-thirds their height in early summer to encourage bushier growth and more profuse flowering later in the season.
Echinacea plants can take up to 2 or more seasons to fully establish. Regular watering and fertilized feeding will increase blooms, we recommend using Espoma Flower Tone.
The seed-heads are a favorite food of finches and overwintering birds. If you leave the spent flower-heads in place in late fall, you will find that they are very good at attracting beautiful birds to your yard.
Our Echinacea plants have larger root systems because they are grown in larger pots. They are shipped in fine quality growing medium and are guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to plant.
