Echinacea

General Echinacea flowers are beautiful and different looking. They are a perennial flower that makes a great addition to any garden. Commonly referred to as coneflowers. Their growth height varies widely depending on the variety. Some can grow to 1 to 2 meters tall. It is a daisy like cone shaped flower. The most common colour is purple but there are now a variety of colours available. It has a long blooming period from mid summer to early autumn. Their seeds are a magnet for butterflies and birds. They are drought resistant and can withstand temperature as well as moisture variations. Growing: Echinacea plants do best in full sunlight. They grow in almost all of the continental United States and Europe. Regular watering of these flowers is recommended. They like well drained limey soil. Older plants can be separated, but try to do this in late summer or spring in colder climates and in warmer climates try to limit dividing them in autumn or spring. To divide them loosen the soil around the outer limits of the mature plants root system. Then slide a shovel under the Echinacea plant and lift it out. Separate the root. (you may need to use a knife.) Then plant each clump in soil with compost and fertilizer. Water regularly without making the soil waterlogged until signs of growth.
