Flower Seeds - Echinacea Red Cone Flower

Product Description

The Cone Flower is distinguished by the warm bright colour of its exceptionally large flowers. The slender elegance & formality of its petals give it a style that will add class to larger flower arrangements.

In the border it is no less valuable on account of its robust strong stems & general vigour which give it good wind & weather resistance. This selection will flower in their first season from an early sowing & will flower mid summer to winter eventually growing to a height of 1m (3ft). This hardy perennial can be sown from February to June at 20-24C in a good seed compost just covering the seed with compost. Keep the soil damp but not wet. Germination usually takes 10-21 days.

When seedlings are large enough to handle transplant & grow on in cooler conditions. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost. Plant 45cm (18in) apart in sun & ordinary well drained soil.
