Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10–21 days at 65–70°F. Once seedlings have true leaves, thin or transplant to proper spacing. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or leave seed heads for birds. Divide clumps every 3–4 years to maintain vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e1000 Purple Coneflower seeds (Echinacea purpurea).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836004532534,"sku":"FOLIA2-1682","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6510094406_b1b5.jpg?v=1793097126","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1000-purple-coneflower-seeds-echinacea-purpurea-perennial-pollinator-flower","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
