Echinacea angustifolia (Narrow Leaved Purple Coneflower)
Highest quality Echinacea angustifolia seed, confirmed true to species both botanically and chemically. New harvest material is of superior germinability, as per our ongoing tests of material originally sourced from a relatively remote, northerly source. Highly recommended. For information on growing this herb, see our book "Growing at-risk medicinal herbs, cutivation, conservation and ecology," which has a whole chapter on Echinacea. The second photo is of fresh Echinacea angustifolia roots as they looked harvesting them from our farm after 3 years of growth. They turned out very nicely and were in high demand from medicine makers, who often prefer angustifolia over other species. We grew these by preparing a fine seed bed in the early spring and direct-seeding the seeds, allowing the plants to grow close together, as one would carrots, perhaps, and found that we had a very good yield that way, about 5 lbs fresh per 20 row feet.
Organically grown 100 seeds/pkt.
