Coneflower Echinacea Seed Mix - NON-GMO
Random mix of Purple, White, Sombrero, Julia, and Pink Truffle coneflowers
Note: Some types are hybrid and may not grow as F2 true to type and take on a mixture of characteristics of the parent plants
***It is not required but Recommended that coneflowers get cold moist stratification
Cold Moist Stratification:
How to perform cold moist stratification:
Mix the seeds with moist sand, peat moss, or vermiculite to maintain moisture levels.
Place the seeds in a sealable plastic bag or container.
Put the container in a refrigerator where the temperature is between 33 to 41°F.
Check the moisture levels of the mix periodically and add more water when necessary.
Keep the seeds in the fridge for the recommended amount of time, which can vary depending on the species of plant. A typical range is 4 to 12 weeks.
After the recommended period, remove the seeds from the fridge, plant them and keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate.
Directions:
- After following the cold moist stratification plant seeds you can plant seeds inside in a 4" cup or larger container 6-8 weeks before final frost date or after spring final frost date (seeds can also be planted in early fall)
- Dig the soil lose 12" deep at planting site - dig hole twice the width of the planting root ball and slightly deeper
