Coneflower PALE PURPLE Perennial Medicinal Pollinators Bees Non-GMO 200 Seeds

Description: Coneflower PALE PURPLE Perennial Medicinal Pollinators Bees Non-GMO 200 Seeds Fresh – No Filler – Pure Seed – Non-GMO PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Coneflower, Pale Purple (Echinacea pallida) Native Bees, Pollinator, U.S. Native Native to the Eastern and Midwestern United States south to Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia, this coneflower is found in limestone glades, oak savannas, fields, prairies, and along railroads. It is a low maintenance, adaptable plant that is tolerant of drought, heat, humidity, and poor soils. Plants freely self-seed if not deadheaded. The central taproot must be well-covered with soil to better survive winter. Good as a cut flower and for tallgrass prairie mixes. Light lavender petals surround the coppery center of this Echinacea. This native wildflower is widely used in prairie plantings that have dry soil. It also has medicinal properties. All the members of the Echinacea genus are native to North America, though they are becoming more rare in the wild. The genus name Echinacea comes from the Greek word for "hedgehog," referring to the spiny seed head of the flower. Historically, this family of plants has been extensively used by Native American tribes and early settlers because of its beneficial medicinal properties. Echinacea acts as a natural antibiotic, and improves the function of the immune system; it became very popular in the medical field in the early twentieth century, particularly after the extensive researches of the German Dr. Gerhard Madaus. Echinacea is still widely used as an herbal remedy, as well as being a common and well-loved addition to perennial gardens and prairie plantings. Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, planting pale purple coneflower seeds 1/4" deep and lightly compacting the soil. For spring planting, mix Echinacea Pallida seeds with moist sand and store them in the refrigerator for 90 days before direct sowing; keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Thin or transplant the seedlings. Growing: Water seedlings until they become established. Mature plants tolerate drought well, and need well-drained soil for healthy growth. Deadheading will greatly increase blooming. After several years of growth, mature plants can be divided in late fall. This plant attracts birds, butterflies and bees as well as resisting deer. Harvesting: For fresh flowers, cut long stems of flowers that have just opened and place them in water immediately; strip the leaves that will fall below the water. Seed Saving: After flowering, the central cones of the flowers will develop into a spiky seed head. Since songbirds such as goldfinches love to eat these seeds, they should be harvested as soon as possible to avoid loss. As soon as the pale purple coneflower seeds easily come loose from the head, cut off the seed heads. Rub them lightly to remove the seed, and store the seed in a cool, dry place. WE SHIP FAST & FREE!
