    Echinacea Planting Instructions:

    1. When to Plant: Sow indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow in early spring or late autumn. These seeds benefit from "cold stratification" (a winter chill).
    2. Preparation: Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. While they are tough, they do best in soil that doesn't stay waterlogged.
    3. Sowing: Plant seeds 1/8 inch deep. They need a little bit of light to help them wake up and grow.
    4. Care: Be patient! Echinacea often spends its first year building a strong root system and will explode with flowers in the second year. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowering.
    5. Pests and Diseases: Very few pests bother Echinacea. In the fall, leave the dried seed heads standing—goldfinches love to eat the seeds during the winter!
