Learn how to collect and store coneflower seeds so you can grow more coneflowers or share them with friends and family. The best way to know if your coneflower seeds are ready to be collected is to "listen for the crackle" sound that the center of the flower makes when you squeeze it between your fingers. This means that the coneflower is dried enough that the seeds are ready to collect.
Coneflower seeds are easy to collect and sow in your garden. Although they will begin to grow in the first season, they may take 2-3 years to actually produce blooms.

I've actually taken the whole heads and buried them. It took two years before anything came up but I finally got a couple of really large clusters that I'll be splitting this year.

@PrettyPurpleDoor 11 месяцев назад

Awesome! I've always wondered if that works.

@pattymoore9461 2 года назад

Put them in a coffee container and shake really hard and you won't have to deal with getting poked. 😊

@blueroan1000 2 года назад

That's a great idea!

@nicolemazza1971 Год назад

That’s what I do. No more stuck fingers!

@maryannferencak3799 3 года назад

Thanks, Amy! I was looking at my coneflowers yesterday and thinking about collecting seeds. I'll harvest some and leave some for the birds.

@PlantGuild Год назад

Thank you for this video. Quick and to the point. I always appreciate it when things don’t go right when demonstrating and the presenter just rolls with it. I pulled my coneflower heads this month after it was covered in 1+foot of snow for 5 months so I’m going to be planting them this month since they had a nice natural cold stratification with the blanket of snow. Happy Spring to you!

8:00 pm 8/23. You can also winter sow. I am in zone 4 so I fill my jugs end of February and add seeds and then put in a snow bank. I get to see how many will germinate. Most perennials establish roots and grow and don’t bloom until the next year .

@kwaks1979 Год назад

Our coneflowers are flowering and we planted them in July.

@PrettyPurpleDoor Год назад

from seed?

@adoptada12 2 года назад

Thankyou for this video. Would you recommend planting these seeds right now as it gets closer to Fall? Thanks!

@PrettyPurpleDoor 2 года назад

Yes. They need cold stratification to germinate so plant them in the fall 😊

@nickpate8652 3 года назад

Can this be done with any coneflower? Like the other color/hybrid ones?

@meuandthelot Год назад

Yes, but they may not grow true, bloom the same color if hybrids. Still great though

@feltig 3 года назад

I think you may be the first person dumb this down for me!!! I came looking to find a video on ratibida pinnata harvest...any ideas since I can’t find info. Would appreciate and subscribing & setting notifications.

@PrettyPurpleDoor 3 года назад

Hello! Ratibida seeds are easy to collect, but it's slightly different from this type of coneflower. Let the seed head and a bit of the stem dry on the plant to be sure the seeds are ripe (like in the video). Ripened seeds are easily rubbed off into a bowl or such. The small(ish) seed will be tan in color with a dark spot near the center.

@adriankap2978 11 месяцев назад

Today I took some spent cones and tried to harvest seeds. However I didn't have the cone that you discarded after the seeds were taken off. Does that mean they aren't true coneflower seeds or the grower made them to only be an annual? If that makes sense. Mine are a red orange flower vs the purple purpurea that I'll be trying next once the cones are black. I'm still very new to gardening in general so I'm learning from video's like yours so thank you! and those little stinkers are sharp. Ouch! I did what I thought might be seeds however I did just put the cone debris in an empty planter to see what happens.

@jburke603 Год назад

I've always read that echinacea purpurea doesn't bloom until year two, usually :)

@PrettyPurpleDoor Год назад

Nice, but have you tried it personally? I've had some bloom in the first year after cold stratification.

@jburke603 Год назад

@@PrettyPurpleDoor I have! This is year two and I have a blooms now. I didn't know it was possible year one but I'm glad! I live in southern California so bee that's why.

@sansidaan2039 Год назад

Can you replant the seeds straight away if it's still mid season?

@PrettyPurpleDoor Год назад

Sure that's how nature does things.

@dianepelletier574 2 года назад

The seed is white and not brown according to other videos I have viewed.

@victoryfirst2878 11 месяцев назад

What is the difference when one picks the coneheads and some are way heavier and others are real light ??

@PrettyPurpleDoor 10 месяцев назад

Heavier ones are probably not dried out yet

@nicolemazza1971 Год назад

Do I have to wait til they turn black? The birds always get all the seeds when I leave them to turn. Can I skip them and allow them to dry out in a paper bag?

@MariMari-vq8hl 11 месяцев назад

First year I’ve planted coneflowers (bought then at Lowe’s) but I “marked” the ones I like to save with a string (for their color but I’m not sure if they will bloom the same color or not since I’m not sure if they’re “hybrids”) but what I’ve seen done to collect other type of flowering seeds are placing little organza/mess bags over that coneflower bloom so that it’s still breathable, seeds won’t fly away, and protected from birds until you harvest by enclosing it and gently tying the ribbons closed 😊

@Starlyyte Год назад

The seeds look like marigold seeds.

@nurmayantcoates9436 11 месяцев назад

I tried to collect and planted but unfortunately none of them grow

@caroltillietmo6889 3 года назад

But you are mistaken, those are not the seeds! It the little wood looking pods things that are the seeds. You should watch other videos on collecting the seeds.

@PrettyPurpleDoor 3 года назад

Yes you can bury the whole piece and you will get new coneflowers. No need to spend the time to break them down. I have dozens of coneflowers from seed using this method.

@howard977 Год назад

l use pliers to remove chaff and seeds while using gloves.

@PrettyPurpleDoor Год назад

That's a good idea. I just put them in a brown lunch bag, let them dry out and shake the bag 😊

@bonetaparrish1714 2 года назад

Wondering what the plant is on your other side?

@PrettyPurpleDoor 2 года назад

That's called Blackberry Lily or sometimes leopard lily. It's Already Done blooming in this video. When it stops blooming the seed pods turn into little black circles that look like blackberries
