Echinacea Purpurea plants and seeds for sale at Amazon.co.uk

Growing from seed

Start your seed early in the year. January or even December.
An excellent greehouse crop, they're slow growing, slow to germinate but if you start your seed early they're a reliable cropper in the greenhouse or windowsill.

Echinacea Purpurea is available over the counter as a dietery supplmement in capsule and liquid format and can also be found in soap and even beer! Although essentially non-toxic side effects can occur and should be avoided, or treated with caution, if you are allergic to plants in the daisy family.
