DWARF CONEFLOWER
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 for best germination rates. Start indoors. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, 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.
