Thanks for you dedication and thoroughness! Can't believe you put 2 years into making this video! It was so awesome to see all of the different stages and even the die back in the winter. You've got a great voice too! A+++
if i plant new seeds late in the season maybe in august and they dont fully grow, will they flower in the next spring? i just bought seeds and will plant them this week great video you made
When they die during winter do you just leave them to do their thing? Or do you need to cover them to avoid frost or cut them back or anything like that? (Sorry very new to gardening was going to do some of these this week) also can they be kept in a large pot/container? How deep should the pot be if so?
I was going to comment this too!😅 Thankyou🙌 I'm going to try & grow mine in pots too! I've done a bit of research, and I think the size pots you choose, depend how big you want the plant to grow in height? And I think the pots need good drainage holes. I'm excited to see mine flower next year, it's an exciting project & something to look forward to!😄 I thought I'd do it now because I'd regret it when it comes round to next year😅
@@louiseamyxo what size pots did you get for yours? I’m attempting to propagate them at the moment been two or three days no sign yet but hoping soon something will happen 🤞🏽
@Noshin Mahmud I started mine in seedling trays & am slightly increasing the pot sizes as time goes on & they get bigger, not sure how big the end pot will be, but going to try different ones out & see what does best, or if putting 2 in a trough will work? Mine grew seedlings within like 2 weeks, and at the point when the stem & leaves got bigger, that's when I moved it to a slightly bigger pot. Hope it goes well for you😊🤞x
Hi! Thank you for this video. I should have watched it before I purchased a bunch of these seeds. Will these grow and bloom where I live, Hawaii. Do these plants need a frost or can I just cut them all the way back in the winter??😓
You are welcome. I am sorry but I dont know your climate so cannot advise. I can tell you that here in the UK I cut mine back every Autumn and they come back again next Spring.
Will the seeds fall off of the current year to create a new plant naturally for the next year? Will the original plant keep coming up every year with flowers?
Hiya nice video. I planted three this year. Do you cut off dead flower head in order to encourage new flowers like with marigold? Thanks and skål from Norway 😁
@@LearnHow2 Okay thanks for the response. Can I ask what nutrients you give them? Anything I should absolutely avoid? And do I need to take precautions with slugs? Thanks again
This was the best video I’ve found yet! I appreciate how you took the time to film through the different phases instead of just telling us. Beautiful flowers! I can’t wait to plant some. ☺️
@@jennifersteeves5482 they wetted the compost soil before they planted the seeds. The plastic cover helps to conserve moisture. This is a tough plant that grows in it's native area of extremes.
I appreciate how you took the time to film through the different phases instead of just telling us. It was great to see what the plants look like in the varying stages of growth. Very helpful. Thank you!
Good to see a video that shows all the stages, not just sowing the seed which is the easy part! I have found that some echinacea varieties (like Green Twister, beautiful) do flower a bit in year one but definitely much stronger and better flowering in year 2.
This was a great video! Every instruction clear and unambiguous , with visuals to back them up. Even a complete beginner would know what to do after watching this. Excellent!👍🏼
I love coming back every year to watch these videos and get my inspiration for starting my seeds indoors. I've always loved your soft spoken voice and feel as though it's now my traditional welcome to planting season! Hope you're doing well across the pond!
Thank you for such an easy to follow, excellently produced presentation. One of the best I have come across regarding sowing flower seeds for beginners.
Thank you for the best video that shows how to grow ECHINACEA. The steps and the vivid growth of the plant helps me to identify it's growth stages. Absolutely wonderful and helpful.
Thank you very much for this clear & easy to follow tutorial. I really appreciated that it was aimed at a novice or small scale gardener, and that was devoid of pricey ( and perhaps unnecessary?) gadgets like grow lights, heat mats, mini trowels, and the like. Also thank you for mentioning that Echinacea only flowers the subsequent season! I nearly threw mine out, wondering if I had bought duds. All the best & happy gardening. Keep making those videos, so helpful
Agree, absolutely great instruction. I even learned not to expect the flower in a first yeat. My new plants are so big and robust that was really hopeful... Thank you.
This was great,my echinacea plant didn't bloom the first year, went dead over the winter, but started seeing shouts this spring, I'm so excited to see what they will look like this year
Thankyou for this. Lovely clear step by step instructions from someone who is obviously an old hand at gardening. I love your water bottle with holes for a sprinkler ( might try that 😋). What great success from a £1 pack of seeds. I'm inspired 😄👍
these flowers are beautiful. So the first year we don’t see any flowers blooming. right now it’s the middle of July. I’m gonna plant them in pots and then move them into my backyard. Hopefully the end of August September will still be warm. And hopefully next year I’ll see some flowering. Thanks for the information.
Got a pack of these seeds from a friend. Has anybody tried growing them (one) inside? I've been having good luck with sunflowers and a tomato plant (from seeds out of a whopper from burger king mind you lol) just sitting in my window. Thought one of these would be nice to try...but not wait 2 years to find out...
I get so many volunteer coneflower / echinacea babies that I dig up and put in container of a mix of perlite, Peat, and clean sand. They do great. I guess there's more than one way to get to Carnegie Hall.
Hello thank you for this detailed video. I am new at gardening, could you please tell me what is the compost you use? I mean what are the ingredients of the mix.
Thank you very much for making this video, how are the flower going? Could you tell the location you plant this in terms of sunlight? I get struggle of choosing location for my plants. The instruction sometimes can be incorrect, ie some plants require full sun but can be tolerant to semi shade, but if I put them on that condition plants got burnt. Is your fence area get afternoon sun or morning sun?
My Echinacea come back year after year and have been wonderful this year. The fence runs north to south and here in the UK the sun will be on the plants from midday until about 1 hour before sunset. Hope this helps
Hi im from Malaysia i tried try to seeding echinacea artisan yellow ombre f1 after days of the days the longer times waiting for few month nothing happen. so sad why so hard to germinate echinacea artisan series....
What did you use for your seed starting mix? Also should I start seeds now in Southeast United States then plant? Will they then bloom next year if I get a early start? Great step by step video and very helpful.
Thank you for an excellent video with great instructions through the stages. I am going to try again, as previously I couldn't get the seeds to germinate.
Hello, very useful videos, when I pre-grow and propagate plants in the apartment, I have a problem with mold on the soil and it causes damage and the aesthetic is not nice, does this happen to you too?
Finally a video that actually shows all the steps. Thank you
Glad to be of help. Keep safe.
Thanks for you dedication and thoroughness! Can't believe you put 2 years into making this video! It was so awesome to see all of the different stages and even the die back in the winter. You've got a great voice too! A+++
Thank you for your kind comments - much appreciated.
Thanks for the clear instructions. Really appreciate that there are no overly complicated steps.
Love how straight forward your videos are (especially good for myself as a complete newbie to gardening)!
Wow I had no idea, it took 2 years to get the blooms. I just planted my seeds. Ah well, Still worth it! Great Video, Thnaks for sharing
Thank you and good luck with your growing. Keep safe.
Thank you for your video. It is the best video I found on how to plant and grow Echinacea from seed.
So nice of you to say so!
Thank you so much for the encouraging video. I was under the impression that it was difficult to grow Echinacea....not so according to your video! 💚
I did not have any problems. Keep sae.
Great video and love all the bird sounds in the background😍
if i plant new seeds late in the season maybe in august and they dont fully grow, will they flower in the next spring? i just bought seeds and will plant them this week
great video you made
Liking this video for the dedication for the reveal!! Thank you will start tomorrow.
Literally the best instructional video ever! Thank you!!!!!
Wow, thanks!
oh wow so looking forward to growing these! beautiful flowers and herbs for healing!
Yes they are one of my favorites
I had really been struggling with the pronounciation of this word Echinacea, having only read it before.
Thank you.
It is a strangely spelled word if you have never heard it spoken!
Thank you so much! This is my first year planting from seed. Very helpful and informative video.
Thanks Karen. Good luck with your growing and keep safe.

(Sorry very new to gardening was going to do some of these this week) also can they be kept in a large pot/container? How deep should the pot be if so?
I cut mine down to at start of winter then just leave them. New shoots then come up from ground in spring. Sorry I have never grown them in pots.
@@LearnHow2 ahh thank you I’ll trial a very small number in pots and see what happens

You have awesome composition! Thanks for sharing.
It looks like Echinacea journey will be long. Thanks for your video 🙋♀
U never said if I could put the small, tiny seedlings on the outside or keep inside until they grow bigger.. mine are tiny now in my house ..
He did! He said plant OUTSIDE after they grow to size. So that means keep them inside the house as he did in his spare room.
Thank you, very informative. I just planted some a few weeks back and they are starting to come out!
That is wonderful Dayna! Keep safe.
A well put tutorial, thanks for sharing.
That was a very nice video, thank you. 👍😊
Thank you too
Lovely soothing voice, straight to the point instructions and videos. What does plant out mean?
Thanks Lily. Plant out means transfer from pots that have been indoors to a permanent outside soil bed.
I glad I googled about this plant.I was thinking of putting it in a pot but better put them in ground. Lol Thanks
Thank you too.
I almost fell asleep but the video was useful. Thank you
😂 Thank you!
First step is to by some seeds lol I Love it already.
😂😂 Believe it or not, some people need telling!
@@LearnHow2 haha oh for sure
Thank you so much exelent video..
Thank you so much!
Thanks for producing this informative video. How long did it take between starting the seeds and the time you plant them outside?
About 8 to 12 weeks.
No cold stratification needed?
Wonderful video
Thank you!!
Glad you liked it Rebecca! Keep safe.

Thank you very much for the explanatory video of different stages of growing Echinecia. I am a beginner. What sort of compost did you use sir ?
It was just general purpose potting compost. Keep safe.
Thank you!
Will the seeds fall off of the current year to create a new plant naturally for the next year? Will the original plant keep coming up every year with flowers?
I have not seen any self setting of last years seeds. Yes the plants die off in winter then flower again next year.
Hiya nice video. I planted three this year. Do you cut off dead flower head in order to encourage new flowers like with marigold? Thanks and skål from Norway 😁
No. I leave mine - the bees love them even as they start to wither.
@@LearnHow2 Okay thanks for the response. Can I ask what nutrients you give them? Anything I should absolutely avoid? And do I need to take precautions with slugs? Thanks again
Thank you! 👏👏👏
You're welcome!
Do you put them into the ground after being indoors? Or do you harden them off first?
Hi Lisa. Harden them off. Keep safe.
Can you grow them in containers an
And winter them in containers?
have you considered voice acting or ereading
I want this voice as my e-reader
they will be eaten by snails so you need to pick them off etc
soooooooooooo slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Slow is good.
This was the best video I’ve found yet! I appreciate how you took the time to film through the different phases instead of just telling us. Beautiful flowers! I can’t wait to plant some. ☺️
Thanks Hannah! Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your growing and keep safe.
I agree, wonderful video! Thank you so much!
Did I miss something? Aren’t you suppose to wet the soil ? Or is that seeds in a dry soil?

Thank you!!
Hello thank you for this detailed video. I am new at gardening,
could you please tell me what is the compost you use? I mean what are the ingredients of the mix.
Its a brand call 'Humax'. No longer available due to move away from Peat based compost.
No cold period needed?
Thank you very much for making this video, how are the flower going? Could you tell the location you plant this in terms of sunlight? I get struggle of choosing location for my plants.

Very good presentation..did you do cold stratification before planting the seeds?
You do not need to cold stratify echinacea purpurea. Although I think you need cold stratify the other echinaceas.
Best complete video all about achinaces
Thank you Uzma!
Thank you, now I know that I might not get flowers in the first year.
Glad I could help!
Why do you use compost? Is that for all it contains? Or humidity?? I am curious cuz you are the only one with this recipe!! Thanks.
The compost I use is sterilised. It contains all the nutrients the plants need.
Hi im from Malaysia i tried try to seeding echinacea artisan yellow ombre f1 after days of the days the longer times waiting for few month nothing happen. so sad why so hard to germinate echinacea artisan series....
Sorry to hear that.
Thank you for this excellent video.
Our pleasure Jamil. Keep safe.
What time of year do you sow? No cold stratification period needed then ? TY
I sow early spring. No cold stratification was required.
Love your voice! Calm and patient, essential to gardening.
Thank you!
I agree completely.
Do you harvest for tea ? I wish to do do once I get my plants established .
Hi Jillian. I have not done this but I will give it a try with next year's flowers.
In what month did you sow the plants and pot them on to their own pots
I sowed early March and potted on a couple of month later.
Do you need to water in between or will the plastic cover take care of that?
Plastic should retain the moisture but if the soil starts to look dry, spray with a fine mist.
Great video. Everything was explained and shown perfectly
Thank you for this video!
Thank you too! Best wishes.
Do you mean we need two years to see they bloom?😮
They bloom in the second year.
That looks like some nice compost.
It is - I never use anything else.
Fabulous thank you 🌺
thank you too!
What did you use for your seed starting mix? Also should I start seeds now in Southeast United States then plant? Will they then bloom next year if I get a early start?

What kind of compost do you use? What kind of propagator trays do you use?
I used general potting compost. Not sure what you are asking - "What kind of propagator trays do you use?"
