Not sure where yours is located - sometimes I try growing flowers in different spots in the flower beds to see where they do best. They usually only live for a matter of years and I always have them from reseeding as long as you leave on the seedheads and they like where they're planted. Hope yours will come along better!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180825921954547094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629633390950913129.post-36891922374996649822013-05-07T12:45:48.495-07:002013-05-07T12:45:48.495-07:00Thanks...I definitely agree it's a beauty! :)Thanks...I definitely agree it's a beauty! :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180825921954547094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629633390950913129.post-13590223944605729752013-05-07T08:10:46.623-07:002013-05-07T08:10:46.623-07:00I am still sad about my lack of a green thumb with...I am still sad about my lack of a green thumb with Coneflowers...

I didn't know that you could use the leaves, flowers, and root for tea and other medicinal purposes, so that is really good to know!

Yes, the leaves and flowers are medicinal too...but the root is much stronger.

I don't know if echinacea would work indoors either as it's usually a large plant.
