Echinacea hybrida
RED OMBRE CONEFLOWER
SKU: 297-3
Flowers open red and soften in colour as they mature. These seeds produce plants with strong stems, and are slightly more compact/dense than many other Coneflower Mix seeds.
Echinacea species are herbaceous, drought-tolerant perennial plants. The plants are generally long lived, and bloom for long periods of time!
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-10
Height: 16-28-, 41-71cm
Location: Sun or shade. Traditionally prefers full-sun locations, though we have plants in mostly-shady locations and they still bloom and do well.
Seeds per packet: 3
Germination: Start indoors. Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
