Lightly cover seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-20 days at 65-70°F. Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart. For direct sowing, scatter seeds on prepared soil and press gently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, Purple Coneflower requires minimal care. Water during prolonged dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms, 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\u003e4000 Purple Coneflower seeds (Echinacea purpurea).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824714088758,"sku":"FOLIA2-1065","price":113.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6558232793_bge8.jpg?v=1793004261","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/4000-purple-coneflower-seeds-echinacea-purpurea-perennial-pollinator-flower","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
