{"product_id":"pale-purple-echinacea","title":"Pale Purple Echinacea","description":"\u003cp\u003eNative wildflower to the Eastern and Midwestern United States. Blooming earlier in the season than other echinaceas, the 2-3” pale, rosy-pink petals are slender and hang gracefully downward. The flowers attract bees and butterflies, while the seed heads will feed the birds later in the season. Sturdy, long stems are also great for cutting. Low-maintenance, adaptable, and tolerant of drought, poor soils, heat, and humidity. Self-seeds. Grows 24-36”. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e100 seeds \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(50, 113, 56);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEchinacea pallida\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerennial, Zones 3-9\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 10-21 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 70-75ºF.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Planting Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSow ⅛” deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStarting Indoors:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStart indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost.
