Boost Immunity with Echinacea: A Beautiful and Beneficial Addition to Your Garden
Known for enhancing your immune system Organic Echinacea purpurea brings vibrant colour to your garden, also known as Coneflower. Renowned for its medicinal properties, this flower and herb features bright pink blooms that not only add beauty but also attract bees, aiding in the pollination of other plants. Our Echinacea bare roots are 100% certified organic, grown without the use of harmful pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Echinacea purpurea bare roots will bloom in their first year. You can plant them directly in the garden from late March, or start them in pots in February to give them an early boost. Once the leaves appear, transfer them to the garden. Regular watering is essential during this period to help the roots establish.
Echinacea purpurea thrives in sunny areas with well-draining soil. Removing fading flowers encourages additional blooms, while leaving seed heads in autumn attracts birds to your garden. Trim the plants in spring when fresh foliage begins to emerge. Applying a layer of well-rotted manure or compost as mulch in the fall will support healthy growth. If clumps become crowded, lift and divide them in autumn or spring to maintain vigor.
Once established, Echinacea is drought-tolerant, making it a resilient and low-maintenance choice. With proper care, this beautiful and functional plant will flourish in your garden, benefiting your health and supporting vital pollinators.
