Growing from Seed

Coneflower seed Question

12 years ago

I just received several kinds of hybrid coneflower seeds in a trade and was wondering should i plant them now since its staring to cool down and fall is approaching.Or should i refrigerate them and plant in the spring.I tried to plant some back in march and had no luck.They seem hard to grow for me.Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.Thankyou Marvin z NC zone 7

If you are talking echinaceas, winter sow them. If you refrigerate them you won't get a cold strat (if you need a cold strat) unless they are in a moist medium.
