Among the nine species of Echinacea, it stands out for its adaptability, flourishing in various conditions from coast to mountain, east to west. Our strain, derived from a rare wild source, remains unchanged, retaining its full chemical potency for immune support and anti-inflammatory properties. When planting, sow seeds in early spring either outdoors or in a greenhouse, then transplant in mid-spring for optimal growth. For robust plants likely to bloom in the first year, an early start and transplanting twice are recommended. Alternatively, direct seeding in early to mid-spring is viable, though diligent weeding and spacing plants one foot apart after the second leaf set are essential. This species prefers sunny, moist soil, reaching heights of three to four feet when flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeeds Per Pack: 100 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardy Zones: 4-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Sun \/ Partial Shad Preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil: Regular, well drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowering Season: Summer to Fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GardeningZone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45825554153663,"sku":"GZ407","price":3.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0102\/6312\/files\/Skype_Picture_2023_07_07T22_16_38_857Z.jpg?v=1783449687","url":"https:\/\/gardeningzone.com\/products\/purple-coneflower-seeds","provider":"GardeningZone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
