Echinacea are perennials that love the heat and the sun. They bloom from June until October with colors from white, yellow, orange, red to pink and magenta. They are completely dormant in the winter so they are good plants to share the area with Daffodils.
The Echinacea garden at Dawn Gardens started with the purchase of 150 3” pots from a mail order nursery back east. They were planted with 2 1 gal. emitters and watered 3 times a week for 45 minutes. They are in an area that gets 75% sun in the summer. They will be able to survive with water once every 2 weeks but they are irrigated with plants that need more water.

This is the area where the Echinacea were planted in 2018.
Plants from 3″ pots were put in gallons into the shade house for the winter and in June they were planted out.
