Growing Echinacea?

[Guest guest]

Hello Joan,

 

Please let me know how you do with replanting the roots, Im curious. I live

in an area with tough winters, and have been advised if I want to replant

the crowns, that I should protect them over the winter (specifically I was

told to keep em in the root cellar overwinter... but Im one of few who has

such a thing these days)

 

No special reason for blending it with chamomile other than taste. I tried

the echinacea straight, and it wasn't a flavor I was fond of, so I added the

chamomile and they seem to go well together. I would think mint would be a

good choice as well.
