Top Gardens: Hybrid Echinacea Plugs
 The
big, bright, long-lasting flowers add vivid color to the garden
from June all the way up to the first frost. Echinacea is a must
have plant for the wildlife garden. Butterflies frequent the blossoms
daily and birds such as sparrows and finch can feast on the seed
heads all winter long. Plants are very easy to grow and will tolerate
poor dry soils. The plants long tap root stores water and allows
them to withstand long periods of drought. Echinacea prefers a light
loamy soil but any well drained garden soil will do. Plants flower
more profusely if given full sun but will perform well in filtered
shade. Remove spent flower heads though out the summer to promote
heavier blooming - but in late fall leave a few seed heads for the
birds. Feed in early spring just as new growth emerges with a generous
top dressing of composted manure and bone meal. Feed again in mid
summer with a light dressing of blood meal and a good drench of
liquid fish emulsion.
