All of mine that overwintered (not many to be honest we didnt get much planted last year) are doing well White Swan is really loving it's new home and went from one plant with one or two flowers last year to a nice clump this year.

All my new ones are happy as well.

This is Echinacea Hope I bought from Germany. The bud just got bigger and bigger but never changed the colour. I had one identical last year in another variety. The plant itself looked lush and green. What is going on here???!!!:

It doesn't immediately mean that it's got asters yellow virus... But I would look up the signs for it and watch it closely. I don't know if it's a problem in the EU.

RE: Echinacea (cone flowers)

I do not have asters yellow in my plants(at least not that I know of. I have never heard of it before I found this forum). The plant was growing indoors in a pot until recently, so any infection must had happened before I received it.

RE: Echinacea (cone flowers)

Again... i would just keep an eye on it for the standard signs just in case. Has it bloomed out any normal flowers yet?

Talking with a few nurseries here that have big aster yellows infected coneflowers, have noted that plugs coming from their growers must be infected when they receive them. It seems to be a horrible issue this year.
