Growing Tips

Echinacea seeds require cold stratification prior to germination. This can be done one of two ways (depending on your planting method).

When Planting Outdoors, plant the echinacea seeds in the fall to allow the seeds to overwinter. Seeds will germinate when soil temperatures reach around 65-70°F. Germination should occur within a couple of weeks but could take up to 4 weeks to fully sprout.

When Planting Indoors, soak the seeds in water overnight then place the damp seeds in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 8 to 10 weeks. Plant in your seed trays and warm the soil to 65°. Seeds should germinate within 10 to 14 days.

These plants are drought-tolerant and do not like soggy feet, so make sure to only water when the surface of the soil is dry to the touch. They do best in a sandy, well-draining soil.

Medicinal Uses

Echinacea has been used throughout history as an immune-stimulating herb. Medicinally, the leaves, root, and flowers can be used.

People have used Echinacea as a natural painkiller for thousands of years. It is also thought to alleviate stomach aches, headaches, sore throats, prevent the common cold, flu, and many respiratory ailments. In addition, echinacea may help to fight rheumatoid arthritis, ulcers, Crohn’s disease, malaria, herpes, typhoid, vaginal yeast, and many other ailments.

When used as a tea, echinacea is believed to reduce anxiety and stress. It may also help to control blood sugar levels and is used in many diabetic diets.

The list of health benefits from the echinacea plant is ongoing, we recommend harvesting and storing the entire plant for future uses as the need arises.

Harvesting Crops

Echinacea flowers and leaves can be harvested in as little as three months but may not reach full maturity until 4 months of solid growth.

If you plan to use the roots in medicinal recipes, most commercial productions wait until the third year of growth to harvest the entire root ball for use. This allows the roots to develop to absolute maturity. Although, the rest of the plant can be selectively harvested until this point.

Harvesting Seed

Save some of your strongest echinacea plants to use as seed stock in the first year. These will provide the best prospects for germinating from seed.

When the flowers have reached full maturity (around 3-4 months), the petals will begin to die off and turn brown. Once the seed heads begin to die and turn a dark brown color, your seeds are ready to harvest.

Snip the stems just below the seed heads and use a bucket or bowl to collect the seeds as you brush them out of the seed head with your fingers. Echinacea seeds are incredibly small, so be careful when removing them.

Make sure your seeds are completely dry by storing them in a cool, dry area for a couple of weeks before safely storing them for next growing season.

Unpredictable bounces
Size: Small, Size: Small
My 3-year old Cavapoo loves these little toys, although I haven’t given them to her all at once. Typically, she is able to chew a little hole in anything with a squeaker within hours. The first one I gave her, it took her more than a day to chew off a little ear, but she still love to play with it. The second one is completely intact after more than a week. What both of us like is that the shapes with tiny nubs make the toys bounce unpredictably. They are small and light-weight which makes them easy to throw in the house without doing any damage. I am careful to not throw them at the TV or delicate items. I’ll actually buy them again when she needs more toys. EDIT 3/19/2026: It’s 3.5 months since I first wrote about these toys. Tater is playing with all four critters. It’s a miracle that all of them are intact and squeaking! Even the one with an ear missing squeaks as long as I cover the little hole. I just added all of the Chiwawa toys to favorites so I can find them again—if or when these ever wear out.

Fun Bath Toy - Loud Squeaker
Size: Small
My dog loves these little squeaky toys. The squeaker is loud and the toy is very durable. She can chew on it and it still looks the same. We love to add them into the bathtub when it’s time for a bath to make her less stressed. She loves to bat them around the house. They roll around pretty well.

Good quality for the price, I’m very happy with this purchase.
Size: Small
They’re slightly smaller than a tennis ball, lightweight, and have a nice bounce. My dog is medium-sized (about 68 lbs) lab mix, and these work great for her. I’ve been looking for a toy like this for a long time. It’s made of soft rubber/silicone and squeaks with very little pressure, which is perfect for my dog. She loves to gently carry toys around the house and yard, and most squeaky toys require too much force. These are easy for her to squeak and just the right size to carry.

The best new toy in years! 🧡
Size: Small, Size: Small
I opened the package and took out the peach toy for my 7 pound nine year old Yorkie. Needless to say, the floor is already covered with a dozen other toys. When he touched this toy with his nose, it somehow started spinning around. He backed up and then swatted it with his paw. It rolled about three feet away. He has been playing with ‘peach’ for about 25 minutes nonstop, so I had to interrupt my busy day to write this review. I have not ever seen him love a toy this much. Now, it is squeaking pretty much nonstop, and he is still picking it up and tossing it. It is the perfect size for him. It’s a great deal too, with four similar toys in the package.
