Sowing, Seeds, Planting Plant in deep, moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Give them space to establish as echinacea do not like to be crowded and avoid damp spots. Incorporate plenty of organic matter, such as well-rotted manure or garden compost, into the soil before planting. Sprinkle mycorrhizal fungi (Rootgrow) into the base of the planting hole and water well.
Care Tips Once planted, echinacea are best left alone as they do not transplant well. Cut back stems as the blooms fade to encourage further flowering or leave the flowers to fade on the plant and provide winter interest.

Love these plants, I've only had 5 flower stems from 2 plants and the other not produced a flower this year but the plants are healthy and grown well.
