HOW TO START ECHINACEA SEEDS // TIPS & TRICKS FOR GREAT GERMINATION // WINTER GROW-ALONG 2024
It’s time for more seed starting! This time, it’s Echinacea! February is the PERFECT time to sow Echinacea seeds outdoors by winter sowing or indoors to get the biggest transplants possible and see your babies bloom the first year! I’ll show you how I start Echinacea and have success, from the trays, to the soil, to how best to get these seeds to germinate. Follow along on our next stage of the Winter Grow Along 2024!
Hi Shelly, came across your youtube today, would you share your WS to order seeds. Thank you enjoy
Shelly this video was so helpful to me so thanks you.💯👍
Shelly, you make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing. I love your videos.
I have tried over and over to grow echinacea..year after year and they never grow. I store my seeds in the freezer, I’m wondering if maybe they need a warm period before the cold? Maybe it’s the storing of them in the freezer that is the problem? Does that make sense lol .
Very informative video and great job to the guy asking questions, I also wonder if my seedlings will green up again after moving them from indoors to outside?
You can cover with perlite instead of vermiculite.
Toby is precious!
Hi Shelly! I bought some daylily seeds from you and they are doing amazing!!! I planted them a little late but they are about 5" tall. Only two didn’t germinate so pretty good! Now I just have to keep them alive:)
Hi Shelly…I just signed up for your newsletter. I would also love to buy some of the seeds, if they are available… echinacea are one of my favorite flowers you grow in your garden…I’m going to be purchasing the seedlings trays your using this year 🌼 My husband has used similar but larger pots with venting for growing chestnut and apple trees that we graft onto root stock and by far the root structure is so much better. He also always asks when I start watching my you tubers …”has that couple that you watch have any new films posted” . We love the bantering back and forth 😅
Great information thank you for informing on this issue as it’s not always easy but so fun to do👍😎😡
I enjoyed this video, I hope you share a video of the echinacea seedlings when and how you transplant them into bigger cells. I started my echinacea seeds in seed starting mix, wondering when you fertilize, what size cells you transplant to. You got me hooked on echinacea. Where did you get the pretty one I think you call Lovely Lotta, or something like that?
Hello Shelly. Is it to late to buy seeds from you?
Will the seeds germinate faster if they are soaked for a few hours before planting?
Are those echinachea starting after a few days??😮 incredible
Can you tell us where you order the large bag of vermiculite please?
I plant coneflower and black eyed Susan .But don’t know what a coneflower plant look like coming up .If you can send a picture.Thank you 😊I have learned so much from your videos 😊😊
The pump mister is so much easier. First year using one. Best 5$ investment!
Love your hubby’s questions and commentary 🤩🤩
Where do you get your vermiculite?
I am also in zone 5, when do you expect to transplant them into the ground , thanks
Very good video! Fun with the cat and dog!!
I have learned a lot from you. Didn’t know that I needed to put in a cold place. Now that I know after my seeds have been in the. After they have gone through the cold period can I use the same soil and put them in it or do I need to start with fresh soil.
Hi Shelly, I bought seeds from your shop. I can’t wait to see what they look like 😊
Also you reminded me to get my echinacea seeds out of the fridge and plant them up. I am trying Paradiso super duper too. I hope they germinate and grow:) Another new one I’m trying is Alan’s Pride. Last year I planted about 75 echinacea purpurea that I grew from seed and I had bunny-mania last summer and they ate every last one. I’m hoping some of them grow back this year but we will see. Great video as always:)
I have some regular pink echinacea but I also have a special variety that is smaller and salmon colored. What do you think the possibility that the seeds were cross pollinated? I really wanted the salmon color seeds to produce salmon colored echinacea but I’m thinking they might turn out to be a mix. 🧡
Extremely informative for 95 percent. Enjoyed the lack of chit chat immensely!!!! Fell off @ the end…..
So happy to see you again for a new garden season 2024
Thank you SO much for posting this video!!! Very helpful video. I can’t wait to try these tips. BTW, when do you start selling your coneflower seeds?
Live in Alaska, going to give winter sowing.
How much water please
Trying Primadonna Deep Rose this year. Paradiso, Cheyenne Spirit, and Red in Shades flowered for me last year, in their first year. Hoping E. paradoxa will flower this year.
This was very helpful, I started my echinacea last night and I was torn on if I should slightly cover them or not, soon these babies will have a birthdate!
Depuis combien de temps faites vous des vidéos sur YouTube je vous suis depuis 1ans
I still can’t believe how well mine are doing!!! 🤩They are so healthy, I’ve already moved them up a pot size!
I can’t wait to see what they all look like!
You have to keep us updated on yours too.
And thank you for taking the time to film this. It’s so helpful to see it being done. Even if I’ve done it, I like the refresher, it always helps.
LOVE the hat!!
Your website says you are sold out of the cone flowers. When will you have some available. Thank you.
Hi Shelly , I’m wondering how long will you keep the seedlings in those trays ,will you pot them up or plant them directly out in the soil ? I hope you will keep us updated on the progress .
My husband never clean after my mess😅😅😅i cleaned after their mess😂😂
Thanks for the video – I have had echinaceas in the past germinate really well but a few weeks after germinating they all die? Any idea what could be happening?
