I’ve watched hundreds of videos on echinacea, they all seemed to say don’t dead head, leave them over winter, so the birds can eat the seeds. This video showed when to deadhead, and to look out for tiny buds, which are nestled in leaf nodes. I had no idea. It has completely changed how I deal with the spent flowers. Thank you very much! !
Great idea! Especially grouping them. Sorry you didn't get enough seeds to do what you wanted. I hope you have enough time to get some more and get them in. 🙏
Hi Gardening with Bulldgos! 👋 Thank you for watching and luckily we have TONS of "Cheyenne Spirit' coneflower seeds (as well as too many others). 🤣 It'll be fun to see these new ones bloom next year!
I live in zone 5, I would like to plant A LOT of coneflowers and Shasta daisies so seed is ideal. If I put the seeds in in the fall will they survive and come up in the spring? We get lots of snow and single digit temperatures.
I live in Indiana.Iv scattered seeds in fall and spring,they will self seed.Paired with black eyed susan and sedum autom joy basically..hardly need to water and spread..the sedum you literally can get hundreds plants off one.Just break off and stick in ground..Pretty in fall..
Hi Patriotgames! 👋 Great question. Like most plants, coneflowers drop their seed close to where they are growing (unless an animal takes it for food and spreads elsewhere). Over time, those seed settle in place and then might or might not get covered with leaves or other materials from the surrounding plants or nearby trees. Possibly animals walk close to the plant and step on the seeds to push them further into the soil or dig through the soil, looking for roots to eat and the seeds get more soil placed on them. Once they reach the specific depth for best germination, they can then be ready for the coming spring to then have enough moisture and the right temperature to germinate. These seeds are viable for a very long time so if they lay on the soil or just below the surface for a few years before they are pushed down by animals or settle further from flooding and thin layers of soil cover them over time, then when the conditions are right, they will germinate. Hope that helps! Thank you for watching!! 😃
Two questions: 1) Did the seeds, (both kinds) grow? 2) Is it true that when growing Cones from seed that they grow foliage the first year and bloom Cones the second? Thanks 😊
Hi Kim! 👋 Thank you for watching and for asking your great questions! As for the seeds germinating and growing; we did not see anything this past spring. We were pretty disappointed that they didn't germinate or grow, but we are hopeful that we will see them this next spring, as they will have been out in our garden environment for over a year and exposed to our local climate. We have noticed with other seeds we have direct sown that some plants germinate right away, where others take a year or more to have the right conditions to then germinate and grow. Plants are extraordinary and have many different adaptations to ensure their success (growing and flowering), and this is one of them. So, if you have direct sown seeds and didn't see them germinate, give them some time and they will surprise you. For your second question; coneflowers can flower within their first year of growth IF they are sown early (inside/indoors in January or February). If seeds are sown outdoors after the threat of frost has past, then they will most likely grow that first year, but flower in the second year. Hope that helps and thanks for your great questions! 😉👍
What zone do you guys live , I live in zone 5 , will they grow if I do the same thing you guys are doing, I did in seed starters this past March but so many seeds fell in one hole but it’s huge but no flowers this year, it usually gives the following year
Great question, and yes, you can definitely start coneflower seeds indoors. We would recommend starting these seeds either in your greenhouse or indoors around 10-12 weeks before your forecasted last frost date for your region or area. For us, here in the Tacoma/Seattle area in Zone 8b, this equates to starting Coneflower seeds around mid to late January (Northern Hemisphere). You can also start these seeds using milk-jugs or some other kind of mini-DIY-greenhouse. We made a couple of videos about this, too, and we had good results. 2023 - ruclips.net/video/sYWimXvcuaE/видео.html 2021 - ruclips.net/video/yxeBm-BgGyM/видео.html Hope we helped with your question and our other videos are helpful, too! 😀😉
Hi Din! 👋 Thank you for watching our video and for asking for an update. We didn't see them germinate yet, but we are hopeful they will germinate this next spring, as they most likely didn't have the right conditions in our climate to trigger their germination process. We had a very dry and warm spring here, in Tacoma WA. The seeds are well adapted to wait for years until the right climatic conditions are met for them to then germinate. Thanks again for asking! 😉👍
They are a survivor. Thanks for keeping it green. John........."One"

Thank you for saying that and we are sooo happy we could help! 😀😊
How did they do the following season? Do you have an update video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the ideas
Hi Mary!! 👋🏼👋🏼Thank you for watching and for saying that! We hope your 2023 gardening is off to a great start!! 👍😉🌞👋🏼
I live in Texas when is it a good time to plant coneflower seeds and daisies
oooooohhhh
Can't wait for next spring...... oooohhhhh man!!! lol
Cheers
@RealJingy Us either! WooHoo! It's going to be beautiful! 😲😃
I like your guys show. It is perfect if show baby plants after sow the seeds. Thx

It's amazing to me that these have to be planted at a specific depth. How do they ever grow in the wild? Please explain that.

@@SpokenGarden Thank you so much guys for your very informative and prompt reply. God Bless ❤️🌱☀️
What zone do you guys live , I live in zone 5 , will they grow if I do the same thing you guys are doing, I did in seed starters this past March but so many seeds fell in one hole but it’s huge but no flowers this year, it usually gives the following year
I live in zone 4. They grow here.
What Zone are you in??
Can you start indoors?

Why take the coleus’s up they sometimes reseed themselves!
Did they sprout?
