ECHINACEA Perennial
Seeds can be started indoors or can be planted outdoors in the fall. Indoors seeds germinate most
readily if first stratified. To stratify seeds keep seed moist and refrigerate for 7-10 days. After seed has
been stratified, place seeds in 4 1/2" pots and cover lightly. Germinate at room temperature. After
transplanting plants outdoors, space plants 8-12" apart. To plant seeds outdoors, it is best to sow in
the fall or early spring in a cold frame.
