CONEFLOWER 'WILD BERRY'
Echinacea
SKU: 1058-5
Description
These are some of the most desired coneflowers, with rich berry-colored petals, and a nice dense and compact shape.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-9
Height: 50 cm, 20"
Location: Full sun or part sun ideally. They seem to perform well in our shady woodland gardens also.
Seeds per pack: 5
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. These seeds require a period of cold. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 2 weeks. They will not grow yet. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and May, is in cold frame or a cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
