An important native wildflower to central and eastern North America, Yellow Coneflower grows naturally in prairies, along roadsides and forest edges. Try planting this prime piece of wilderness to invite native birds, butterflies and bees into your garden. 

Rapidly growing a meter or taller, yellow coneflower is a hardy, resilient native plant that isn’t fussy about growing conditions. It acclimates quickly to dry or damp areas and outcompetes weeds, blooming prolifically from early summer until the fall. The Aster family member has many distinct features. The leaves are rigid and rough, yellow pinnate petals droop almost straight down and prominent conical centres change from green to a dark purple or brown. The centres give off a wonderful anise aroma when rubbed or crushed. 

Although known by many common names, Yellow coneflower is unmistakable in the wild and garden. It is an excellent companion in native plantings, vegetable, flower and pollinator gardens. Because of its erect, upright nature with little foliage on the stem, yellow coneflower makes a great cut flower for bouquets in vases. Bolster the resilience and harmony of your local ecosystem by planting this sunny native in your own garden.

Echinacea has been used medicinally for millenniums by the Indigenous people of the Great Plains and other nations living nearby. The flowers were used by traditional healers to treat burns, pain and insect and snake bites, while the roots were used to treat toothache, infections, cough, cold, flu, stomach cramps and other symptoms.

Although Echinacea was quickly adopted by early settlers, it was only first described during the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-06. Echinacea Purple Coneflower was said to ‘’grow in great profusion’’ in the prairie lands and open woods, ranging from southern Canada to Texas.

During the 1870s, a certain Dr. Meyer learned about the plant’s healing qualities from the Native American tribe of Nebraska and proceeded to convince a pharmaceutical manufacturer to offer extracts of the plants as an anti-infective agent. During the 1890s, medical studies conducted in Germany and Switzerland propelled the cultivation of the plant in Europe and it quickly became widely used for its healing properties. By the 1920s, the plant was one of the most popular medicinal plants used in the U.S. until it lost its popularity in the 1930s, as more effective anti-infective treatments were developed for the pharmaceutical market.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

The North American native has evolved to be one of the most common flowers found in wild prairies and possibly just as prevalent in home gardens. Purple coneflowers are drought-tolerant, hardy and develop long-standing blooms.

Among all of the varieties of coneflower, Echinacea purpurea is the most popular. Instead of a long taproot, like other varieties, purple coneflower has a fibre-like network of roots. This feature makes it the most favourable type to grow in the garden, easily divided and transplanted. The central cone within the daisy-like petals attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. What’s not to love?

Seeds can be started inside or out, but should first go through a period of stratification. If starting seeds outside, simply plant seeds in the garden in the fall. They’ll experience the cold winter and be ready to sprout fresh in the spring.

When starting indoors, plant seeds in moist soil, seal the container and put it into the refrigerator for eight to ten weeks. Remove seeds from the fridge and plant them 1 cm deep in pots. Cover well with soil, as they need darkness to germinate. In about two weeks, when seeds sprout, move them under grow lights. Keep the lights just 3-5 cm above the seedlings.

Plant coneflowers in full sun so that they reach their maximum potential height and yield. They will survive in most types of soil, as long as it is not overly damp. Drainage is important so try mixing in some compost at the time of planting. Providing 3 cm of water per week should suffice for established plants. Daily watering is advised for young plants and fresh transplants.

Established coneflowers thrive in their native prairie-like conditions. Hot and dry weather is the perfect combination. Fertilizing shouldn’t be necessary as long as they receive an input of compost once or twice a year. Deadheading the spent flowers will ensure blossoming throughout the season.

Coneflowers may not produce the desired flowers in the first year, but will only become hardier and more prolific over the next seasons. Heading into the first winter, some cold protection would be helpful. A thick layer of mulch will prevent a heavy frost from damaging the established roots. Leave stalks standing during the winter to feed the birds and shear them back in the spring. Blooms should first appear in early summer and will be enjoyed by insects, animals and humans alike, until the first frost. 

QUICK FACTS

- A few First Nations named echinacea the ''thirst plant'' because the roots can be consumed if water is scarce during a crisis situation. 

- Echinacea seeds will remain viable for 2 years if stored in a cool, dark place, ideally between 4 and 10⁰C. After that, the germination rate may start to go down.

Smart cotton pad pack, versatile for all skincare needs
Size: 500 Count
Including two types of cotton pads in this pack is a smart move. Both are high-quality, lint-free, and excellent for skincare needs. One is thick, perfect for cleansing, while the other is a thin pad ideal for soaking with toner and placing on skin for absorption—like a Korean sheet mask. The thin pads come in five stackable layers, usable as regular pads or separated for targeted use. I like using them when a thick pad isn't needed, minimizing waste. The cotton rounds come in a reusable plastic container. I'll continue to repurchase these. Highly recommend.

light use pads
Size: 475 Count
Pads are great but very thin. Fine for very light use but prefer pads a bit thicker. They do wipe well and are easy on the skin and would function fine for light chores. I like that they come in a case for storage.

Very good pads.

I use these cotton pads to clean my guns after returning from my gun club. Obviously that isn’t what most people use them for but they are well made and sturdy.
