'Echinacea' Baby Swan White Coneflower Seeds

      ℹ A white-flowered form of the Purple Coneflower, one of our most popular native wildflowers. Plants form a medium-sized mound of coarse dark-green leaves, by midsummer bearing large daisy flowers with white petals surrounding a greenish-brown central cone. Removing faded flowers regularly will greatly increase the flowering period. Seedheads have good winter interest. Outstanding for cutting. Attractive to butterflies. Plants may be easily divided in early spring. Any seedlings that appear can also be moved at that time.

Planting Instructions:

Sow indoors 8-10 weeks before planting out. If started indoors in late winter, Echinacea may bloom in the first year. It can also be direct sown in early spring or early fall. Germination should occur in 10-21 days. Sow seeds shallowly at only 3mm (1/8″) deep. If starting indoors, provide total darkness and a soil temperature of 21-25°C (70-75°F). Once sprouts appear, provide bright light.
