Botanical Name: Echinacea purpurea (Double Peach cultivar)
Genus: Echinacea
Species: purpurea
Color: Warm Saturated Peach-Apricot ruffled pom-pom center with lighter Creamy-Peach drooping ray petals.
Plant Habit: Upright, robust, clump-forming herbaceous perennial with deep green, lance-shaped foliage.
Light Requirements: Full Sun (6-8 hours minimum). Tolerates light shade but may produce fewer blooms.
Water Requirements: Low to Moderate. Extremely drought-tolerant once established. Do not overwater.
Temperature Requirements: Warm to Hot. Thrives brilliantly at 65°F - 90°F (18°C - 32°C). Hardy down to -30°F in winter.
Soil Type: Well-draining, average to lean garden soil. Prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 - 7.0). Rich soil causes leggy growth.
Bloom Start: Mid-Summer (July - August).
Bloom End: Mid-Autumn / First Frost (October - November).
Pollination: Insect-pollinated (Extremely attractive to butterflies, bees, and beneficial insects).
Planting Depth: Surface sow to 1/16 inch (1-2 mm). Do not bury deep; light is essential for germination.
Life Cycle: Herbaceous Perennial (Hardy in US zones 3-9).
Plant Height: 24 to 36 inches (60 - 90 cm) tall.
Plant Spacing: 18 - 24 inches (45 - 60 cm) apart.
USDA Zones: 3 - 9 (Perennial in zones 3-9; does poorly in hot, humid zones 10-11).
Resistance: Excellent heat and drought tolerance. Good deer and rabbit resistance due to the textured, bristly cones. Susceptible to: Powdery mildew in crowded, humid conditions with poor air circulation; Aster Yellows (a bacterial disease spread by leafhoppers). Avoid overhead watering to minimize fungal issues. Warning: Seeds and roots are not intended for direct culinary or internal use.

Crucial Growing Tips: Echinacea seeds require a cold stratification period for reliable germination. You can sow outdoors in late fall / winter (natural stratification), OR place seeds in the fridge (in a damp paper towel) for 4 to 6 weeks before spring planting. They require light to germinate—do not bury them deeply.

Timing: Direct sow outdoors in late autumn to early winter (most reliable) OR start indoors in early spring (after 4-6 weeks of cold stratification in the fridge).
Site Selection: Requires Full Sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight). Will tolerate light shade but blooms best with maximum sun exposure.
Soil Preparation: Thrives in well-draining, average to poor soil. It is highly adapted to lean, sandy, or rocky garden soils. Do NOT over-amend with rich compost, as this can lead to excessive foliage and weak stems.
Sowing: (Indoors) Sow seeds on the surface of moist seed-starting mix. Do not cover with soil, or cover with an absolute maximum of 1/16 inch, as light is essential for germination. Keep the tray at 65°F-70°F and maintain even moisture.
Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist during germination. Once established, they are highly drought-tolerant; water deeply once a week only during extremely prolonged dry spells. Do not overwater, as this causes root rot.
Transplanting: Harden off indoor seedlings for 7-10 days before transplanting outdoors after the last frost.
Maintenance (Extended Bloom): Unlike many flowers, you do not need to deadhead (cut spent flowers) to keep blooms coming. To maximize flowering, simply leave the old blooms on the plant. In winter, the dried seed heads provide winter interest and food for birds.

📏 Planting Density

Prairie Gardens & Perennial Borders: Space individual plants 18 to 24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to allow for mature clumping and air circulation.
Mass Plantings: Space plants 14 to 16 inches (35-40 cm) apart for a dense, unified display.
Container Planting: 1 plant per 14-16 inch diameter deep pot. Ensure excellent drainage.
Note: Proper spacing is crucial to allow for mature clump expansion and to prevent foliar diseases in humid climates.

⏱️ Simple Growth Timeline

Days to Germination: 10 - 20 days (after proper cold stratification).
Days to Transplant Size (4-6 leaves): 50 - 60 days (from sowing).
Days to First Bloom (If cold-stratified & well-started): 120 - 150 days (from sowing). Important: Spring-sown seeds often require a full year to establish deep roots; abundant blooms typically appear in the second summer.
Bloom Duration: Approximately 10-12 weeks (Midsummer to Frost).
