A short video on my method for how to start, germinate , plant, and grow Echinacea / Coneflower from seed. I've grown dozens of these over the years, and I've always had very high germination rates.

I have never cold-stratified this particular Echinacea, and I typically cover it with about 1/8" (3 mm) to 1/4" (6mm) of soil. I generally see this plant costing $8-$10 in garden centers/big box stores. Well, for about $2.50 you can buy a pack of 100-200 seeds. It is a strong, hardy plant that blooms for a long time in the right conditions (Full sun). It is pretty drought tolerant too, as the roots go well over 3' (1m) down into the soil.

For more info on another coneflower / echinacea, check out my video on pale purple coneflower, echinacea pallida. It is another good resource on how to plant echinacea seeds.
