Echinacea Seeds - Pale Purple Coneflower

$3.95

Availability date currently unknown

Echinacea pallida

This hardy perennial is native to the American Midwest and Southeast. Its large, daisy-like blooms appear in June and July, and are distinguished by their narrow, pale purple petals that droop almost straight downward from their cone-shaped centers. Pale Purple Coneflower (E. pallida) can be difficult to tell apart from its close cousin, Purple Coneflower, (E. purpurea), but pallida blooms 2 to 3 weeks earlier than purpurea and is therefore a wonderful addition to the landscape for pollinators. Pale Purple Coneflower seeds need to be cold stratified for best germination. Perennial.

When to Seed Echinacea

Echinacea should be direct seeded outdoors in fall, or stratified indoors and sown in trays for transplanting after all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Echinacea

This plant will appreciate a spot with full sun. Loose, well-draining soil is ideal but this plant will tolerate an extremely wide range of growing conditions. This perennial bloom will flower in the second year and come back year after year. It will readily spread and reseed, so keep this in mind when choosing a location! Plants reach two to three feet tall. 

Growing Echinacea

Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and two to four inches apart. Once germinated, thin your seedlings to 12 to 18 inches. Once established, this plant is quite drought tolerant. 

Harvesting Echinacea

Echinacea can be harvested for cut flowers or left to mature in the garden to benefit the many pollinators and bird species that are attracted to it.
