Echinacea eventually potted up (Echinacea purpurea (Coneflower))

I decided to put the recently bought echinacea in an old pot I had. I’ve put lots of gravel/cobbles in the bottom, compost and then topped off with more little cobbles.I’ll see how it copes...

I like the pot, too! Not a sign of mine yet :-(

Nice Kate. What color are they? I'm still waiting for my little seedlings to pop up that I planted last summer. I hope they made it through winter.

Thanks Ange! I could have cleaned it up a bit better after potting up!
I hope yours starts to pop up soon 🤞

Thanks Paul, it’s hopefully - going by the label - a sort of deep/shocking pink!!!
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you too, that you see signs of shoots soon! 🤞

I can already see it in the leaves - the shocking pink. They are tough little plants.

You're right, Paul. I just zoomed in again and you can see what hopefully will emerge.

Thank Klahanie, I hope it will grow and flower..I've read a few of you on here struggle with these plants. It's a real shame , they're just so "summer" aren't they!!!! Thanks for liking the pot, I'll have to clean it up better!
I hope your echinacea put on a good show for you this year 🤞
