When & How: Harvesting 🌺Echinacea ❇️ Seeds (Purple Coneflowers), Stratification, Storing for 2022!

[@DrJ4712]

Thanks for taking the time to produce this video! Very informative. I am first year in Northern Minnesota trying to start making my yard into a prairie! Just getting purple cone this year after planting in 2021. I'm very excited to start harvesting and growing the purple cone in other areas of my yard. Thanks again!😊❤

This is very helpful! I am new to seeds- are there any that should not be stored in the freezer?

Love, love, love your simple but amazing channel. I would love to see a video on growing and storing potatoes, if possible. I found your channel today and I have subscribed. I definitely will be sharing with family and friends.

I really wish I could! Unfortunately I live in an area where it just goes from winter to summer too quickly 😔 could have an 85* day that stunts tuber growth, then tumble down to 20 the night after. Tennessee weather is so volatile between March and May. Either the tubers are stunted from the heat or a freeze knocks them back. In the end, i might get 2-3 lb per lb of seed potatoes. I definitely wish they grew better here because that would be wonderful to get a decent potato harvest! I've tried too many times 😂 Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining us 🙂

I was wanting to ask a question if you don't mind.i planted seeds that weren't supposed to get over 8 to 12 inches tall .I don't even remember what they were.what grew was massive.they look like an orange coneflower but they are around 8 ft. Tall. My question is what are they?I want to gather seeds for next year but it would be nice to know what they are

Thank you for visiting! 😊 At 8' tall, and with you saying they resemble a coneflower... Is there any chance you grew seeds from a Sunchoke, AKA Jerusalem Artichoke??? I have one that I've got growing and it hit roughly 8' tall (storm blew it over) but the flowers are around the size of the palm of my hand, sunny yellow, with a small center. It's a relative of the sunflower, but quite different blooms. I don't know of many flowers at all that can grow that tall, unless it's vining. If it's supporting itself and not vining, I would suspect it's a Sunchoke without seeing it! 😊

@peanut7961 Did you happen to figure out what it was? 😊

Oi, you ask a question, have it answered and then never return? Rude
