Echinacea paradiso
SKU: 424-5
Description
This is a stunning mix of Coneflower, all in compact dwarf form! Colors include red, orange, salmon, yellow, pink and white! The flowers are large and showy, blooming from early to late summer, lasting for many weeks!
Echinacea species are herbaceous, drought-tolerant perennial plants. They have strong, erect stems.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 20", 50 cm
Location: Sun or part shade
Hardiness zones: 3-9
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.
