Had to buy the whole tray of echinacea!

I went for a visit to the Coffs Harbour botanical gardens and they have a few plants for sale at the gift shop, I couldn’t help myself when there was a tray of echinacea plants there for sale 11 all up. Well what do you do when you have a garden the size of my garden you gotta buy the whole tray ones not going to do much of an impact statement. So I  splashed out and got the lot Iam sure the garden will look better for the purchase. Iam sure the wife will be happy with the flowers I know iam.

Wonderful! I love Echinacea/Coneflower! I used to not be sure since my location gets less winter chill (and they're a staple in the American Midwest and North), but I recently discovered they can grow decently in my area and I've tried to get all the different colors (many from the 'Cheyenne Spirit' series). I wonder how they do in your area long term without as much cold/freezing temps.

Yes it’s one the best herbal medicines around. They live for years in the ground in my climate with mild winters.
