Care:
- Thrives in full sun. Water well as they are getting established, they require minimal watering once established and are fairly drought-resistant. Plant in well-drained soil that isn’t too rich, as overly fertile soil can lead to weaker, leggy growth. Leave flower remnants/seed for the birds over winter and cut back in February/March.
*Please note that hybrid varieties of Echinacea may not be true to seed, meaning that seeds collected from these plants may not produce offspring with the same characteristics as the parent plant.
