Planting
Echinacea
Plant in spring after the last frost.
Keep plants cool until planting and becareful that they do not dry out.
These plants will grow in most soils provided they are not too wet and are adequately drained.
Choose a planting spot in full sun to partial shade.
Plant with the top of the crown, base of the fans 3 cm (1 in) below soil level and space 40 to 45 cm (16 to 18 in) apart. The roots should not be showing after planting.
Water thoroughly after planting.
Growing
Echinacea
Water as needed during active growth periods, but allow the soil to become dry between watering.
This is a bold plant that can be used as a focal point in the middle or back of the garden.
Care
Echinacea
These flowers last a long time as cut flowers, making them popular for arrangements and bouquets.
These flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
Winterizing
Echinacea
Foliage should be cut back in the fall.
For new plants, provide a winter mulch of evergreen boughs or salt marsh hay after the ground freezes to help prevent heaving.
