Cheyenne Spirit Coneflower Mixture

A 2013 All-American Selections winner, our magical Cheyenne Spirit Coneflower Mixture is a vibrant, variable blend of rich purple, pink, red and orange to paler, more subdued tones of yellow, cream and white. (We have longed for the red variety that is only available through this mixture.) Yielding floriferous, well-branching durable plants, this prized mixture is perfect for mass naturalized plantings, perennial borders, cutting gardens, containers and butterfly gardens. Once established in full sun, it is rather drought-tolerant, stands up to driving rains and is free-flowering without any need for dead-heading. Its perfectly formed flowers are between 3" and 3½" wide. Height: 24". Hardiness zone: 4-9.

One packet of about 15 seeds

      Echinacea purpurea. Start Coneflowers indoors before the last frost date to promote first-year blooms. Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours, and then sow in a good seed-starting medium. Provide 65° to 75°F temperatures and uniformly moist soil until seedlings emerge. Introduce strong sunlight. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant to larger, deeper pots for full root system development. After all danger of frost has passed and seedlings are 4" tall, harden them off by gradually acclimating them to the outdoors over 7 to 10 days. Transplant out 18" to 24" apart or direct-sow in rich, well-draining soil and full to partial sunlight. Water regularly and mulch to deter weeds and retain ground moisture. Deadhead old flowers to promote continuous blooms. Summer flowering.
