Echinacea is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the daisy family. It has ten species, which are commonly called coneflowers. They are found only in eastern and central North America, where they grow in moist to dry prairies and open wooded areas. They have large, showy heads of composite flowers, blooming in summer. How to Grow Firebird Coneflowers From Seed These plants propagate easily from seeds. They prefer cold stratification (or storing the seeds just below freezing for two to three months, such as a fridge or freezer door). Warming up triggers the growth cycle for the seeds. Plant the seeds in the spring well after the last frost with temperatures in the 60s. Plant the seeds 1 to 3 feet apart. Germination begins after about 4 weeks. After 12 weeks, you should start seeing several sets of leaves. Unfortunately, coneflowers usually do not flower the first growing season.
