Additional Information

Herbaceous Perennial Plants

When you receive your order, open the bags and check the stock immediately. Roots and crowns should be firm and pliable. Surface mold is harmless and will not affect the plant’s future performance. Store plants in their packaging in a cool (35–40°) location until you are ready to plant. If it’s going to be awhile, you can pot up your perennials.

Do not plant bare-root perennial plant crowns directly outdoors before danger of frost has passed. Wet and/or cold conditions for an extended period may cause rotting.

Coneflower Echinacea

3-5' tall. Echinos means ‘spiny’ and coneflower’s spiny seedheads are beautiful surrounded by a single row of reflexed petals. These North American native plants are often over-harvested in the wild. Medicinal benefits vary among the different species. E. purpurea and angustifolia are considered the standard for making medicinal tincture. E. paradoxa shares some of the immune-stimulating compounds as purpurea but in our opinion is best planted for the birds and the bees as a complement to your purpurea patch. Tolerates wind, heat and drought once established. Will reseed. Plant 20–30" apart in full sun and light sandy soil.
