🌿 Echinacea 'Starlight' Seed Starting Instructions

🗓️ When to Start

  • Indoors: 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost date.

  • Outdoors: After the last frost, when soil temperatures are consistently above 65°F (18°C).

🌱 Sowing Seeds Indoors

  1. Prepare Containers: Use seed trays or pots filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix.

  2. Sow Seeds: Place seeds on the surface and lightly press them into the soil. Do not cover, as they require light to germinate.

  3. Maintain Conditions:

    • Temperature: 65–75°F (18–24°C).

    • Light: Provide bright, indirect light or use grow lights for 14–16 hours daily.

    • Humidity: Cover with a plastic dome or wrap to retain moisture.

  4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

  5. Germination Time: Typically 10–20 days.

🌿 Transplanting Outdoors

  • Timing: After the danger of frost has passed and seedlings are 4–6 inches tall.

  • Hardening Off: Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions over 7–10 days.

  • Spacing: Plant 18–24 inches apart in a location with full sun and well-draining soil.

  • Watering: Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

  • Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.


🌼 Additional Tips

  • Soil pH: Echinacea prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0).

  • Fertilization: Echinacea is low-maintenance; over-fertilizing can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.

  • Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.

  • Attracts Wildlife: Flowers attract butterflies; seed heads are favored by goldfinches.
