Lightly cover seeds with soil as they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at 65-70°F. Transplant seedlings after danger of frost has passed, spacing them 18-24 inches apart. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and bird food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Summer Mix Coneflower seeds (Echinacea purpurea).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776197951798,"sku":"FOLIA-382","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7288817450_mqsv.jpg?v=1792468310","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-summer-mix-coneflower-seeds-echinacea-purpurea-colorful-garden-flowers","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
