$6.00

Echinacea is an amazing herb, flower, mood up lifter, source of food for birds and insects, great as a cut flower has extremely long blooming time, hardy, deer resistant and can tolerate bad soils. This amazing plant is absolutely must have for any garden, big or small. In spring Echinacea will emerge early with their beautiful large leaves green at the top and dark purple on the undersides. Roots run shallow and keeping plant under control from overtaking your garden space is easy. As summer rolls around Echinacea will shoot up flower spikes that look like tiny pinecones, fresh and green which will develop into big purple flowers with a splash of purple and deep purple black center which makes it perfect as a backdrop to capture stellar photos of butterflies that come to feed on the nectar. From early summer well into late fall Echinacea will delight your sight with flowers that will bloom one after another. As the cool winds of fall make their way don’t cut down the flower stocks for they contain precocious seeds that will serve as food for birds in winter. Fall turns to winter and birds of all sorts of colors and sizes will visit your garden to peck at Echinacea seeds. Fall is also a great time for you to pick those medicinal roots, wash them out and dry them up to help combat winter lows. Echinacea’s roots and leaves and flowers all make for an amazing apoptogenic tea, or you can make your own tincture out of them. As the new season comes around, snow will melt and your Echinacea will spring to life in your garden repeating a yearly cycle of purpose, love and giving, but with one small difference. You will notice tiny new baby Echinacea plants around your mother plant which you’ll be able to re-plant to grow your Echinacea patch bigger and more beautiful.
