Growing Pretty Parasols Echinaceas

These hardy, drought tolerant perennials thrive on poor, sandy soils, and tolerate coastal winds. They like a lot of sun in order to flower. Wet conditions over winter may cause them to rot.

Do not divide their clumps if you don't need to, and when you do need to, move the biggest pieces you can manage without splitting them up.
