I love coneflowers too. Every time I see a new variety, I can’t resist and have to buy it. I have so many different ones now but recent purchases were green twister, sun seekers, sombrero series and double scoop series. I just found one that is a deep crimson with a purple almost backish stem.
I also have several varieties of coneflowers and love them. I have white swan and it always does well for me.
Totally agree that you can never have enough coneflowers in your garden, along with the pink coneflower I love white coneflower, but I find they are not as hardy as the pink variety, love your garden, so beautiful
Hi Marta, the border looks great! And yes, you can't beat the coneflowers punch of color they give any area. I always tell people they are a must in the garden. They are so easy and resilient. Just some of the varieties i have: Ruby Giant, white swan, rainbow which i love!, i also have delicious candy, dark shadows mystic, cara mia yellow and the newest one that is my favorite Glowing Dreams the color is so vivid! Im sure i missed some. Anyway, thanks for your video as always🌺
I recall when you were planting the border. The transformation is amazing and in such a short time unbelievable
I must say it is my favorite space to check on progress this year! So happy with the results!
Hi Marta, I garden in zone 5B Northern Illinois. Last summer I planted a few different varieties of coneflowers in a small bed at the edge of our driveway by the mailbox. I don't water them much since it's away from the house so it gets watered by rain mostly. I haven't noticed that any have self seeded.
I surround the coneflowers with Nepeta Cat's Pyjamas, which I love. I notice that some unknown bugs are eating the petals. I've had an orange variety, a white variety and most recently Green Twister which also got bug damage. So the purple coneflower and the white coneflower seem to do best. I've also started the purple coneflower from seed and planted them in my backyard raised bed in June, the plants are pretty small still so will see if they flourish.
My favourite flower! Easy to grow in my Zone 5 area and such a pretty colour. I plan on eventually planting them everywhere. It's been hovering around 35 deg C here in Kamloops, Canada, for weeks. Sometimes hitting 40. Not spending a lot of time out in the garden right now, but I'll get back to planting once the temps cool off some. Happy gardening!
I have grown the Magnus coneflowers for many years. They self-seed around my garden and I love them. I also grow the White Swan that is like a white Magnus. I've tried growing some of the more colourful coneflowers but many have disappeared. Bonny zone 5b Canada
Beautiful. I wish I knew what all those grasses are. I really like the tallest one with wispy seed heads
I agree coenefliwers are such lovely great flower producer and seed producers.
It makes me happy when they just pop up and create a space for themselves!
I love innWeston West Virginia USA zone 6b we too are having extreme heat in the mid 90s or 32-35 C very similar temps this year every where. A new gardening challenge climate change and these plays can take the heat and lack of moisture.
Truly enjoy your channel and how you present your content ! Thank you. Have a great day!
Hi Marta. Very pretty garden. I have coneflowers in my garden as well. Zone 6b in New Hampshire, USA. The 2 varieties that I have are Pow Wow Wild Berry and Cheyenne Spirit. The fancy varieties never do well for me either. What are the grasses that you have against the fence? Karl Forster? Have a nice week in your garden. Jane.
Flower Garden beautiful.. 😭😘😘🥰😁💐🌺🌷💐🌹
Thanks for sharing Marta~! Yes! Coneflowers are so easy to germinate, grow and maintain. A staple in my garden.
I am in zone 6 Toronto Canada. I have Pow Wow pink and Pow Wow white. They grow quite well, but the pink Magnus are definitely my favorite. They self-seed so easily and now I have dozens of them. I transplanted some last week in the summer heat. They drooped for a day then bounced back. I am keeping them watered. I find that the other varieties only last a year or two.
While the butterflies and pollinators favorite is the native pink it's worth checking out all the new colors, shapes etc..as well.
They have really come a long way so the new varieties are really worth looking into as additions.
beautiful and enjoyed the butterfly also.
I have been convinced by you. Your border looks amazing 😍👏.. Thank you for sharing your experience and useful tips.😊🌼🌸🌼
Hi Marta! Beautiful garden, just love all the colors. Especially loved the first variety Magnus. I have some in my garden but do not know their name. I especially love the purple verbena behind the Magnus. I'm in zone 6a, but not having the best luck with my coneflowers, which surprises me because my Rubecia is going like mad. They get morning/early afternoon sun. I did sprinkle the seeds from last year but have many bird nests with many scavengers! Love your videos- thank you for sharing!
I have never succeeded to grow corn flowers. All the petals are eaten by insects because I do not give them any chemicals. This year, my corn flowers have already been affected by insects, and I don’t see any petals at all.😢
So sorry about that, never had that problem.
I cannot grow them either
I love coneflowers but the deer eat most of mine unfortunately
Japanese beetles eat the coneflower petals in my garden in Minnesota, USA so I am busy pushing the beetles into a soapy water container, but I still like having them in the garden and their seed heads.
Maybe spell their name correctly and they will like you better.
Thanks Marta, this is one of my favorite perennial that I grow from seeds. The border looks nice.
Hello my dear, I want to start by saying thank you for sharing so much information about gardening. I just moved to zone 5 from zone 8 and I now have a huge yard that I'm planning to make a beautiful garden my yard is southern facing. I haven't started planting yet just cleaning "weeding" I'm excited for spring. If you have and suggestion as to what I could be doing is appropriate. ❤
Love cone flowers too❤❤❤
Hi, thanks for the video! I love my echinaceas too! Grow really good here in Belgium! Quick question, what tall grasses do you have in your front garden? Is that deschampsia cespisota goldtau?
We have trouble with bunnies eating our Echinacea. It’s been a struggle to get it to spread because of them.
I have one kind of conrflower. It has grown 2 x bigger than was written on the package. I am wondering it is because i added a lot of compost or mix in packaging. Anyway they are great flowers!❤
Yes, rich soil and lack of sunlight can make to plants to grow taller that it said on the package or the description of the plant.
Love this boarder and the tall grasses gently swaying in the background. What is the name of them please? I have shared this video and your channel with my daughter as she is just starting off her garden. Also, I managed to buy a Jasmina climbing rose after seeing it in a recent video of yours. Looking forward to next summer when she is in bloom. Happy gardening from England 🇬🇧 x
DESCHAMPSIA CAESPITOSA GOLDSCHLEIER
@@GardenwithMarta thankyou x
I can’t grow cornflowers they always die out come winter zone 6 I’ve tried so many I gave up!
I love your border with grasses and coneflower! I have two coneflowers here in zone 8b that I planted a couple years ago to see how they’d do. I will be putting in a couple more at least!
I have really struggled with coneflower 😢. I bought 72 perennial plug plants earlier this year to grow on. I plan on planting them out in the autumn to grow healthy roots over winter for next year. Out of 72, 6 were coneflowers. A few days ago I noticed that the coneflower wasn’t looking very healthy. Now I have 1 left out of 6 😢 I don’t know why as everything else is doing great. I will buy bigger plants in spring but so disappointed as I’ve been caring for them since March. I am in Devon U.K.
Maybe buy seeds and grow directly to the soil still this year🙂greetings from Poland.
@@agnieszkamalinska6966 I do have some seeds. Can I put them in the garden soil now? Or wait until spring? Thank you for your help ❤️
@@julianamcnaught1852 I sow them when they set seeds themselves, which is here late summer, early atumn. Leave one of the coneflowers with a flower to fade and set seed, and at the same time sow the ones from seed.
@@agnieszkamalinska6966 I don’t have any mature coneflowers. I had plug plants I was growing on but all but one has died. I do have seeds though that I bought.
Dear Marta, I suggest you invade and conquer the RUSSIAN sage before it attacks and invades you. I removed my Russian sage 881 days ago. I replaced it with Polish and Ukrainian sages. BTW, I love your no-nonsense presentations and information. -- Thank you ! (Mount Shasta, California)
