The Echinacea Cheyenne Spirit is ideal for gardeners looking to add a vibrant, multi-colored splash to their landscape without the long wait associated with traditional coneflowers. As the world's first seed-raised coneflower with a wide color spectrum, it provides reliable autumnal hues from June through September, though gardeners should note that the jumbo plug plants require an initial "grow-on" period indoors or in a greenhouse before being moved to their final outdoor location.

Yes, once fully established in the ground, they are hardy perennials. However, the initial jumbo plugs should be kept frost-free until they are grown on.
Deadheading can encourage more flowers, but leaving the seed heads on provides winter interest and food for birds.
Echinacea prefers well-draining soil. If your soil is heavy clay, mix in grit or horticultural sand to improve drainage before planting.
The Cheyenne Spirit variety is a mix; while you will get a beautiful range of colors, individual plant color may vary within the pack.
Typically, these reach a height of approximately 45-60cm with a similar spread.
Unpack immediately, water lightly, and place in a sheltered, indirect light area for 24 hours to recover from shipping stress.
This often indicates overwatering. Ensure drainage holes are clear and let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings.
Ensure the plants are receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily; lack of light is the most common cause of poor blooming.
Upon arrival, immediately unpack your 6 jumbo plugs and pot them into individual containers filled with high-quality potting compost. Keep them in a well-lit, frost-free location such as a greenhouse or a sunny windowsill to allow them to establish a strong root system. Once the risk of frost has passed and the plants have grown sufficiently, you can transplant them into your garden beds or final display pots. Use a sunny location with well-draining soil. During the first season, ensure they receive consistent moisture while the roots settle. Once established, they are quite hardy and require minimal intervention, though deadheading faded blooms can occasionally encourage a secondary flush of color.
