75+ Echinacea Purple Coneflower Seeds | Medicinal Herbal Seeds Wildflower freshly harvested for 2021 USA. Shipped with USPS First Class Mail Native Wildflower Medicinal Herb commonly used as an antibiotic The classic Purple Coneflower is probably the most popular native wildflower out there, and no native prairie planting or garden is complete without it. This wildflower favorite has it all - it's showy, it's native, and it is widely used as an herbal remedy. 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 purpurea seed is still widely planted as an herbal remedy, as well as being a common and well-loved addition to perennial gardens and prairie plantings. Common Names: Eastern Purple Coneflower Latin Name: Echinacea purpurea Species Origin: US Native Wildflower Type: Native Wildflowers Life Cycle: Perennial USDA Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 US Regions: California, Mountain, Arid/Desert, Plains/Texas, Midwest, Northeast, Southeast Sunlight: Full Sun, Part Sun Height: 40 Inches Color: Pink, Purple Bloom Season: Blooms Early Summer, Blooms Late Summer Uses: Attracts Pollinators, Attracts Honeybees, Attracts Butterflies, Hummingbirds, Cut Flowers, Deer Resistant Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, planting the Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) seeds 1/4" deep and lightly compacting the soil. For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store it 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. Unlike most coneflowers, Purple Coneflower does not do well in drought conditions and needs adequate moisture. The area should be well-drained to avoid soggy soil, since this can cause disease. Keep competition to a minimum in the first year of growth, since this plant cannot reach its full potential when crowded by weeds. After several years of growth, mature plants can be divided in late fall. This plant attracts hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. 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.
