Just Arrived! Echinacea "Prairie Splendor"


I received my shipment of 3 echinacea "Prairie Splendor" plants today. I was never a big fan of echinacea's large cones, but I had a change of heart once I saw them in Gardens Illustrated magazine. I love their cute button shaped centers and their drought-tolerance. They arrived from Jung's without pots, so I put them in plastic pots with some potting soil and gave them a good watering. Hopefully they will perk up again soon. I wonder where I should put them....

Also, most of the seeds have sprouted by now. In the future, I'm definitely not going to use the plastic covers to keep in the humidity. This year, they have done so much better without the cover and there was less damping off than in previous years, if any.
