Planting & Care

Tips For Growing Echinacea (Purple Coneflower)

This genus is invaluable for the mid- to late-summer garden, bringing color into our plantings when many spring bloomers have gone green for the season. They are native to the eastern half of the U.S. and are most commonly found growing in prairie habitats.

Echinacea thrive in our gardens when provided with well drained soils, plenty of sunshine and moderate to dry moisture conditions depending on the species and cultivars. Healthy individual coneflowers will grow in the garden for 3 to 5 years. Species and cultivars raised from seed will often reseed themselves to continue their presence in our gardens.

'Rocky Top Hybrid' echinacea, while xeric, appreciates extra moisture provided by some easily accomplished water harvesting techniques. Plant it in a wide, shallow depression and mulch amply or place right up against the north side of a low, wide rock, tilted to shed water on the Echinacea's side.

Fall Care: You can leave the dried seed heads for winter, as they provide food for birds. Echinacea easily reseeds itself. You can cut back seed heads in the fall, where you don't wish the plant to reseed. Spring Care: Cut back the dry stalks to the crowns of the plant in early spring. Pull any unwanted seedlings in spring. They are easy to pull when young.

Reviews

"Beautiful plants, carefully packaged and shipped. Excellent planting directions. Never been disappointed in the quality of High Country gardens! Been a customer for 20 years!"

— Todd (5/5)

5 Feet Tall

"I have these along a hot fence line in zone 6. Full sun all day. They do great. Deadhead after the first bloom, and you get a lot more at the second bloom."

— Anonymous (5/5)

These are coming along nicely

"These made it through the winter and are beautiful"

— Happy G. (5/5)

I'm in love with this plant!

"I've planted in a pot and in the ground. The potted one is looking fantastic. Grounds ones are okay, but not as gorgeous as the potted one."

— Wendy (5/5)

50% success

"I bought two plants, they are in the garden side-by-side, one is in full, beautiful bloom and the other is only a few inches high and looking terminal. Gardening is a gamble! I've had these in past years and they are generally very hardy and bloom for a long time, so they're a great addition to the garden."

— Jaybee (4/5)

Happy now

"First received a flimsy, lifeless plant. I requested a replacement and received a more responsive plant. After tender loving care and constant vigilance, this second plant is growing slowly. 🤞"

— Fingers C. (3/5)

Again only 1 grew

"I love these coneflowers but 1 out of 3 grew"

— Cat (5/5)
