NJBob said:I find that echinacea transplanted after the beginning the beginning of Aug. in the north have a very low survival rate. I know another Bob who grows in containers and keeps them in a garage for the Winter and says that works. If you do put pot in the ground do it in an area that does not stay wet.


Good to know. Not terribly wet here in winter so might be fine. Sounds better than assuming they might take root and establish prior to frost.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
