This video is a labor of love. For us serious growers, really appreciate you recorded this through the seasons and over multiple years. That’s exactly how this plant grows. Kudos!!!!!
I just started the seeds two days ago. This is very helpful! Thanks so much for putting this together. Looking forward to seeing more videos like this!❤❤❤
Keeping up with this over time, including through 2020 is awesome! And very helpful. I'm growing from seed for the first time this year, thank you for this!
Wow, that is a long time to flower. I'm growing some for the first time. I'm about a month in. I appreciate the dedication you put into this educational video.
I’m starting echinacea from seed this year and this is exactly the video I needed! Most videos are just about harvesting the seeds, not so much about growing from seed, transplanting and progress. Love it!♥️
Thank you so much, as one comment said,"This video is a labor of love". A few years ago I found a patch of wild coneflowers on my property but was unable to do any gardening at the time but did manage to transplant a few to my front yard. Now I'm trying to locate a few from that now basically bare patch but am having a hard time recognizing them. Your vid really helped me...thanks so much! Flowers of blessings! p
What an excellent video of the life of the Echinacea from seed to maturity through the seasons. I'm in the UK and was looking for a video of sowing Cornflower when I came across this gem, brilliant!
Just what I needed to watch. I read online that it would bloom in the second year. This is very reassuring. I need to plant about 50 plants. It’s cheaper to start them from seeds. Thank you.
This is exactly the type of information I'm seeking as I've planted an Ernst Meadow mix that includes this species and I wanted to identify the seedlings. Thank you!!!
Wow so beautiful and first year blooms?! That’s so cool. I’m used to seeing them bloom the second year. I hope you saved the seeds to that one that bloomed first. Might be awesome genetics. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy growing! ❤
These videos are amazing. Getting to see how they grow helps me understand how they grow at the start, how they grow, how many I need/want in a given space as a first time grower, etc. Watching these videos is a wealth of information. It's also fun to "speed grow" plants. Thanks for sharing and I hope you continue to share about other plants
These videos are why I just love your channel so much and always recommend people watch!! In my zone these are native so they flourish with no help from me but I want to try a little hugelkture myself this spring with the rotten wood gardening. I always found these plants to spread like wildflowers (haha!) from seed so I plant mine without any mulch and they take over very fast. Need lots of direct sunlight for that deep, rich color of purple. I’ve had them come up in shady areas and they’ve still bloomed though not nearly as vibrant color. Very excellent vid!!!
Wow! What a great payoff for all your work! Thank you so much for your dedication in filming this! I’m just starting my little seeds today and I was wondering when they’d be full-sized; this video was very helpful 🥰
This is so information rich. Thank you for showing the lifespan of this plant! It’s November and I’m just itching to sow seeds so I’m turning to perennials like these that will grow slow as babies but be hardy enough to go outside into cold when they outgrow my indoor lighted area. Thank you for this!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm starting my first echinacea and it's so slow... I really appreciate you showing by Date how the growth progressed!!!
Very interesting video. I too have found them really slow to get going here in UK. Some didn’t make it. But they are so worth it for a late summer show! And the seed heads are lovely too. I think they’re quite hungry feeders so that helps them to bulk up well. Not sure why you dug them up…they were just getting really ‘in their stride!’
Thank you. I dug them up for two reasons. One to see the root because they say the root has the most medicinal value. And as you can see it would take a lot of plants to get a small about of root harvested. Second reason I needed to move them the trees had grown and it was getting to much shade. I have them in several places in the garden now.
@@zaneymay oh yes, I forgot that the root can be used! I just grow them cos they’re pretty! 2 other varieties I love are E.pallida and E.’Green Twister’…
Hi it's a nice video, and a wonderful plant for the throat and immune system. Where in the south are You? Wondering if I can grow this here in Orlando. Thank You so much for sharing this video! Following Your channel but now more closely...because I use this as medicine!
I started coneflower seeds back in April this year and all I see is leaves. I did black eyed susans around the same time and it bloomed this year. The echinacea did not bloom this year, will I see the flower next year?

Thank-you! I really wanted to see what the seedlings looked like!

THANKS! For The Chronological Video Updates Concerning The Growth Progress Of The Echinacea Coneflower, GOOD JOB!! That Is Just What I Needed Too See

Thank you so much. Best of luck with your seedlings. I do lots of plants like this.

Oh yeah SoilSista!! I can learn all about all the herbs I want to grow right here. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾

Great video, I'm growing them as well. Thanks for the start to finish results.

Thank you. Yes I'm in zone 8b we have a long season. Thank you for watching.
Amazing video!!!!!
I am buying Echinacea for my salve! So beneficial!

I have these and love them. Thanks for the great video.
Its like you made this video just for me 🥰

Thank you! I moved them to a sunny spot. Hope they do better here. Due to the extreme heat and humidity it's been a struggle to keep plants happy.

Like a lot of perennials, they take a year or two to establish themselves. Here in Zone 5b, they never bloom the first year!
I use to live in zone 5a.
Hi it's a nice video, and a wonderful plant for the throat and immune system. Where in the south are You? Wondering if I can grow this here in Orlando. Thank You so much for sharing this video! Following Your channel but now more closely...because I use this as medicine!
I'm in northern Florida in zone 8b. Echinacea grows in zone 5 to 8. Yes it's a great medicinal plants and thank you.
Great video, when you started your seeds did you cold stratify them first? I'm planing on growing some this spring from seed in zone 6.
No I did not. Hope you get lots of starts.
I started coneflower seeds back in April this year and all I see is leaves. I did black eyed susans around the same time and it bloomed this year. The echinacea did not bloom this year, will I see the flower next year?
Yes if you did not get blooms this year and the plant survives the winter it will bloom next year.
They should get a lot taller the 2nd year. Mine were as tall as me.
Good to know, thanks!
Sometimes the first year plant will only get the leaves … the next year flowers and the year after that more flowers with more color
Did you deadhead the ones that had multiple blooms?
No I harvested the full bloom not the dead heads for tinctures. Oh wait I took a few for seeds.
