I have never grown and would appreciate any tips on germinating Purple Coneflower (Echinacea Purpurea). I have heard cold conditioning the seed is recommended. I was unsuccessful doing it artificially so I would plan to try it naturally. As fall is here in the deep south (southern edge of zone 8b - 9a is only a short mile away) I would guess now is the time to get them into the ground?
Any help on germination procedures, location, drainage, likes, dislikes. Any information at all :)
Thanks,
Michael
