Echinacea
TALL MIX CONEFLOWER Dreamcoat
SKU: 1233-5
Description
Dreamcoat Coneflowers have long-lasting and large flowers, ideal for the perennial garden! They are very easy, both to germinate, and to grow, and we think they are one of the most valuable perennials available!
Echinacea are drought-tolerant perennial plants growing up to 140 cm or 4 feet, in height. They have strong, erect stems.
Type: Hardy perennial
Seeds per pack: 5
Height: 90-120 cm, 3-4 feet
Location: Sun or part shade
Hardiness zones: 3-9
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.
