Season: Perennial
USDA Zones: 3 - 9
Height: 24 - 36 inches
Bloom Color: Lavender....Plants are generally started from wildflower seed. A soil mix of 1:1:1, peat, sand and soil by volume is suggested. Literature also suggests that surface or very shallow wildflower seeding gives better results as light has some influence on germination.
If sowing Coneflower herb seeds outdoors, wait in the spring until the daytime temperature consistently reaches 70F. Sow purple coneflower wildflower seed shallow, 1/8 inch and keep the soil surface moist. Mulch over the wild flower seed is considered essential for outdoor seeding and a depth of 1/2 inch of clean straw should be effective. Purple coneflower wildflower seed will keep in sealed containers in a freezer or in a cool dry room for several years.20 Seeds
