RE: Echinacea ~ Flowers, Leaves, and Roots with a Long History of Healing

in Natural Medicine2 months ago

What a beautiful, mindful, complete practice herbalism is. And darling echinacea does it so prettily. Gorgeous post and a remind to try to go echinacea AGAIN next year... I never have success.

I wish you luck with your future Echinacea plants!! There are so many herbs and crops that others say are so easy to grow but never seem to work out for me, still I want to give a couple of them a go again when I move about a mile away in a year or so.
Something that helped me grow these lush echinacea plants is treating them like a crop rather than an herb. In years past I grew them in a herb spiral with rosemary and thyme that was only watered about once a week. That worked out well during the rainier years but the past two years they have done so much better in a garden bed growing alongside basil, flowers, and tomatoes.

Ah that's interesting - I will try that when I get home.
