Echinacea Plants For Sale

Echinacea plants burst with vibrant, daisy-like blooms that brighten your garden and attract butterflies, bees, and songbirds all season long. Known for their resilience, they thrive in harsh conditions—heat, drought, and poor soil—while returning year after year with little care. Their timeless beauty and pollinator-friendly charm make them a gardener’s favorite and a wise investment for any landscape.

This quaint, yet vibrant flower blooms from early to late summer, and like a sunflower, follows the sun as it shifts across the sky. Coppery in color, the center of the inflorescence is made of hundreds of tiny, individual flowers called disk florets. These florets appear spikey due to the rigidness of the bracts that extend far beyond each floret’s length.

Yes, Echinacea, also known as coneflower, comes back every year as a hardy perennial. It grows stronger and fuller with each season. Once planted, it reliably blooms each summer with vibrant, daisy-like flowers.

To winterize Echinacea, cut the stems back to a few inches above the ground after the first frost. Add mulch to protect the roots through cold weather. In spring, remove the mulch, and the plant will return with fresh growth and blooms.

Echinacea is very hardy and can tolerate cold temperatures down to around -30°F once established. It thrives in USDA zones 3 through 9, making it suitable for most climates. Its deep roots help it survive harsh winters and return strong each spring.

Exposure

Echinacea, commonly known as coneflower, flourishes in full sun, needing 6 hours of direct daylight daily. It can tolerate partial shade but will bloom less abundantly. Full sun ensures the healthiest growth and vibrant flowering.

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Perennials, Tubers, and Bulbs

Bare root perennials, tubers, and bulbs are an easy and economical way to jumpstart your garden with lasting beauty. These dormant plants should be planted in early spring or fall while the soil is cool and workable. Before planting, soak bare roots in water for 1–2 hours to rehydrate them. Choose a location based on the plant’s light needs—most flowering types prefer full sun, while others thrive in partial shade.

For bare root perennials, dig a shallow hole and spread the roots out naturally, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. For tubers and bulbs, plant with the pointed side facing up at a depth about two to three times their height. Cover with soil, gently press down, and water thoroughly.

Keep soil consistently moist (not soggy) until new growth appears. Add mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but avoid covering the crown or bulb tops. Once established, these plants require little maintenance—just seasonal watering, occasional dividing, and deadheading or pruning as needed. With proper care, they’ll return and thrive year after year.

Absolutely Love It

The plant came healthy, started blooming within weeks, and now it’s the star of my flower bed. Perfect purchase!

Great Plant, Minor Issue

I love the Echinacea, though one of the leaves looked a bit wilted when it came. After watering, it bounced back nicely.

Very Pleased Overall

I was happy with how well the plant was packaged. It looks good in my garden bed and I’m excited to see how it does next year.

Lovely Addition to My Garden

The Echinacea plant came in healthy condition and adjusted quickly. It’s already starting to bloom, and the colors are beautiful.

Not Quite What I Imagined

Delivery was quick, but the plant looked a little weak when it arrived. It’s hanging in there, just taking longer to perk up.
