Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in spring or fall for best results
  • - Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0
  • - Prefers well-drained soil, tolerates poor or sandy soils

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water regularly until established, allowing soil to dry out between waterings
  • - Once mature, Echinacea is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring if soil fertility is low
  • - Excessive fertilizing can lead to leggy growth; minimal feeding is best

Pruning and Training:

  • - Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms, but leave some seed heads for winter interest and wildlife
  • - Cut back in late fall or early spring to clean up old growth

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Echinacea is generally pest and disease resistant, but occasionally monitor for aphids or leaf miners
  • - Ensure good air circulation to prevent any fungal issues

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Blooms from midsummer to early fall with large, daisy-like flowers in shades of pink, purple, or white

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Hardy in USDA zones 3-9, tolerates light frost and heat

Companion Plants for Echinacea:

  • - Rudbeckia: Complements Echinacea’s bright blooms with yellow daisy-like flowers
  • - Salvia: Adds vertical spikes of blue or purple that pair well with Echinacea’s bold colors
  • - Penstemon: Provides a contrasting texture with its tubular blooms
  • - Lavender: Offers a fragrant, drought-tolerant partner that blends beautifully with Echinacea
  • - Achillea: Pairs well with Echinacea’s bright flowers while attracting pollinators

Beautiful Blooms

Beautiful blooms so far, very happy with my coneflower

From Megan | August 25, 2023


Healthy Plants

The Echinacea were in good shape when they arrived . They were planted immediately, but slow to grow. Plants were stripped of lower leaves- which was unnecessary. I’ve never had plants shippedthis way and I think that is whyplants were slow to put on growth. Plants are growing& blooming now, but they don’t look as good as other echinacea that I have. With time, they will probably improve.

Excellent Echinachea

I’m trying to rate this 5 stars but it isn’t showing it? Anyway I am delighted with my Sombero Tres Amigo Echinachea! It arrived healthy and well packaged. It has grown quite a bit and putting out a lot of blooms for its first year. I wasn’t sure which color I would get as I could only order one. But I was going to be happy with the color I was sent. And boy am I! I have confidence in Grow Joy. I have ordered other plants and they have all thrived with Plant Tone added initially and consistent watering. Thank you Grow Joy!

Tres Amigos Echinacea

I had 2 of these in my sunny garden years ago and was happy to see GrowJoy offer this variety. I ordered 3 of them and healthy plants arrived that were carefully packaged.

Great splash of color for a problem area

I've been looking for something that would grow well in an area of my yard where nothing much has prospered and thought that these might work. And I was right!! I been thrilled with the vigor of the plants I was sent and by how well they have grown they haven't stopped blooming since early July when I planted them.
