Echineaca Info
« on: June 21, 2006, 15:48:59 »
Just bought a plant from my local WI, has anyone got any tips for siting the plant and caring for it?  I googled it but mostly go info on herbal remedies.

Cheers

There are a fair number of species etc., but they all like sunny positions in well drained fertile soil. None of them are that hard to grow.

Unless you grow a variety called 'White Swan' that  is, especialt from seed. I have had little sucess with this vairety. One not very vigourous plant from a packet of seed.

The basic species and its cultivars are OK though. I have even sucessfully lifted and divided one - against common advice that they dont like it.
