An important native wildflower to central and eastern North America, Yellow Coneflower grows naturally in prairies, along roadsides and forest edges. Try planting this prime piece of wilderness to invite native birds, butterflies and bees into your garden. 

Rapidly growing a meter or taller, yellow coneflower is a hardy, resilient native plant that isn’t fussy about growing conditions. It acclimates quickly to dry or damp areas and outcompetes weeds, blooming prolifically from early summer until the fall. The Aster family member has many distinct features. The leaves are rigid and rough, yellow pinnate petals droop almost straight down and prominent conical centres change from green to a dark purple or brown. The centres give off a wonderful anise aroma when rubbed or crushed. 

Although known by many common names, Yellow coneflower is unmistakable in the wild and garden. It is an excellent companion in native plantings, vegetable, flower and pollinator gardens. Because of its erect, upright nature with little foliage on the stem, yellow coneflower makes a great cut flower for bouquets in vases. Bolster the resilience and harmony of your local ecosystem by planting this sunny native in your own garden.

Echinacea has been used medicinally for millenniums by the Indigenous people of the Great Plains and other nations living nearby. The flowers were used by traditional healers to treat burns, pain and insect and snake bites, while the roots were used to treat toothache, infections, cough, cold, flu, stomach cramps and other symptoms.

Although Echinacea was quickly adopted by early settlers, it was only first described during the Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804-06. Echinacea Purple Coneflower was said to ‘’grow in great profusion’’ in the prairie lands and open woods, ranging from southern Canada to Texas.

During the 1870s, a certain Dr. Meyer learned about the plant’s healing qualities from the Native American tribe of Nebraska and proceeded to convince a pharmaceutical manufacturer to offer extracts of the plants as an anti-infective agent. During the 1890s, medical studies conducted in Germany and Switzerland propelled the cultivation of the plant in Europe and it quickly became widely used for its healing properties. By the 1920s, the plant was one of the most popular medicinal plants used in the U.S. until it lost its popularity in the 1930s, as more effective anti-infective treatments were developed for the pharmaceutical market.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

The North American native has evolved to be one of the most common flowers found in wild prairies and possibly just as prevalent in home gardens. Purple coneflowers are drought-tolerant, hardy and develop long-standing blooms.

Among all of the varieties of coneflower, Echinacea purpurea is the most popular. Instead of a long taproot, like other varieties, purple coneflower has a fibre-like network of roots. This feature makes it the most favourable type to grow in the garden, easily divided and transplanted. The central cone within the daisy-like petals attracts bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. What’s not to love?

Seeds can be started inside or out, but should first go through a period of stratification. If starting seeds outside, simply plant seeds in the garden in the fall. They’ll experience the cold winter and be ready to sprout fresh in the spring.

When starting indoors, plant seeds in moist soil, seal the container and put it into the refrigerator for eight to ten weeks. Remove seeds from the fridge and plant them 1 cm deep in pots. Cover well with soil, as they need darkness to germinate. In about two weeks, when seeds sprout, move them under grow lights. Keep the lights just 3-5 cm above the seedlings.

Plant coneflowers in full sun so that they reach their maximum potential height and yield. They will survive in most types of soil, as long as it is not overly damp. Drainage is important so try mixing in some compost at the time of planting. Providing 3 cm of water per week should suffice for established plants. Daily watering is advised for young plants and fresh transplants.

Established coneflowers thrive in their native prairie-like conditions. Hot and dry weather is the perfect combination. Fertilizing shouldn’t be necessary as long as they receive an input of compost once or twice a year. Deadheading the spent flowers will ensure blossoming throughout the season.

Coneflowers may not produce the desired flowers in the first year, but will only become hardier and more prolific over the next seasons. Heading into the first winter, some cold protection would be helpful. A thick layer of mulch will prevent a heavy frost from damaging the established roots. Leave stalks standing during the winter to feed the birds and shear them back in the spring. Blooms should first appear in early summer and will be enjoyed by insects, animals and humans alike, until the first frost. 

QUICK FACTS

- A few First Nations named echinacea the ''thirst plant'' because the roots can be consumed if water is scarce during a crisis situation. 

- Echinacea seeds will remain viable for 2 years if stored in a cool, dark place, ideally between 4 and 10⁰C. After that, the germination rate may start to go down.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
