Growing Non-GMO Echinacea Magnus Flower Seeds

Magnus echinacea seeds can be sown directly after the frost but, for earliest spring blooming, begin indoors 6-8 weeks prior. Echinacea seeds will germinate between 7-21 days with full light and harden off if transplanting outdoors or to an indoor planter with full sun. Magnus echinacea plants are adaptable and known to be tolerant of drought, heat, humidity, and poor soils. Do not overwater.

Known to bloom continuously without the need to deadhead. There is little need to fertilize this hardy plant except in cases of very low soil fertility. If desired, supply a small amount of compost or a low-strength balanced liquid feed. Deadheading is not necessary to put out many blooms although regular removal of spent blooms does enhance the overall look of the plant and may encourage even more blooms. Allowing cones to persist into winter will provide food for those winter birds like goldfinches. Divide overcrowded clumps; this is on average needed every 4 years.
