Planting & Care
1. Planting: Find a spot with well-drained soil and full to partial sun (4 to 8 hours of sunlight per day).
Plant your echinacea in a hole twice as wide but just as deep as the root ball. Water immediately to establish roots and add a 3-inch layer of mulch to prevent weeds.
If you're planting in a container, select a pot that's about twice the size of your plant's shipped container, and use organic soil. Place your echinacea, water to settle its roots, and find a sunny spot on your porch or patio.
2. Watering: These flowers prefer moist, well-drained soil, but can tolerate some drought. Water weekly, or check the surrounding soil. When soil is dry about 3 inches down, it's time to water.
If your flowers are in a container, water until you see dripping from the drainage holes at the bottom.
