Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow in spring or autumn in a warm, sunny position. Echinacea prefers well-drained soil and full sun, though it tolerates partial shade. Seeds benefit from cold stratification — refrigerate damp seeds for 2–4 weeks before sowing to improve germination rates. Plants flower from their second year. Ideal for most NZ regions.
