Place seeds in the refrigerator for 60 days before sowing in spring. Sow in trays, making sure seeds are lightly covered. When the plants have 5 to 6 leaves, transplant into individual cups or directly into warmed soil. Autumn sowing is carried out in the same way, and is left outdoors until spring. They can also be sown directly in the ground.
Very slow growth, but can flower the first year.

"Echinacea tennesseensis" was a very rare and endangered species with only five known populations in the dry cedar lands of central Texas. It was recently removed from the US federal endangered species list. It differs from other species in that its violet petals face skywards, rather than downwards. The closest species is "Echinacea angustifolia var. angustifolia".
