I would love both the cone flower and the gaillardia, if you'd like to trade, send an email. I also have other flower seeds not on my list. White poppy (still drying) as well as a few others I recently received in trade. :)

Purple coneflower (echinacea) seeds

I have never started perennials from seed before and decided to just try an uneducated experiment. I put starting mix in styrofoam cups (with a hole punched in the bottom for drainage), added 3 echinacea seeds to each cup, rubberbanded some clear plastic wrap to each cup, made a slit in the wrap, and put the cups on my north-facing front porch. I planted 10 purple coneflowers and 9 germinated. I planted 10 pow wow coneflowers and they are just now starting to come up, a week behind the purple ones. Am I accidentally on to something, or is this just freakish beginners luck?

Mine are doing this as well, my first thought was aster yellows, but I'm also wondering if the weather has been a factor. (Can you tell I'm in denial?) I only have 3 coneflower plants, all Pow Wow Wild Berry, started from seed last year. 2 in one bed and the other one is in a bed nearly 500 ft. away. I got rid of all my coneflowers a few years ago because I was tired of yanking plants with aster yellows, then saw Pow Wow and decided to give them another try, this may be a very short lived 2nd chance.

Good luck to blueheronretreat. He can also make lots of Echinacea tea. It is made from the root. I know what you mean McPeg. I am also nuts about plants. I have a small greenhouse by the house. There is no more room in the "inn". I like to go and pull my plants by the hair, so I can transplant. I am itching to get my fingers back into the soil.
