When the heat is on, Echinacea flowers flourish!
|
||
Echinacea, nature’s butterfly magnets,
|
||
are native to the dry prairie states, and love the baking sun.
|
||
Birds, especially Goldfinches, love the seeds,
|
||
and will eat directly from the drying flower heads.

|
||
Echinaceas make gorgeous cut flowers, and the drying flower pods provide nice fall interest in the garden.
|
||
Seeds not eaten by birds will often reproduce, growing your Echinacea crop.
|
||
Plant with Russian sage, rudbeckia, and grasses for a prairie garden feel.

We sell a number of varieties of Echinacea from the purple ‘Magnus’,
|
||
the unique blooms of the ‘double scoop’ line, the ‘Pow Wow’, the ‘Sombero Yellow’,
|
||
and the cheerful candy colored mix in the ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ mix-my favorite.

Echinacea like lots of sun, low fertilizer, and well drained soil.
