Introducing ‘Echinacea’ A Gift of Seeds, perfect when healing, positive thoughts and love are in need. Included as a part of Sow 'n Sow nurture range, this will be the perfect gift that is both beautiful and useful. Echinacea is a purple flower with a prominent central cone, giving it the more common name of ‘Coneflower’. They are loved by pollinators such as honeybees and butterflies, making an attractive addition to a cottage style garden. After watching your flowers bloom, they make a lovely cut flower, or are also widely used as a medicinal herb. The herb encourages the immune system (by increasing white blood cells) and reduces symptoms of cold, flus and other illnesses. The plant label included with each pack includes a simple recipe for making tea with the flowers and leaves. Plant in free draining soil in a sunny location. Bury seeds as deep as the height of the seed and keep soil moist. Featuring original, nostalgic illustrations by Melbourne artist Daniella Germain, this product is designed and made in Australia. Printed on 100% post consumer waste recycled card, the seeds enclosed are also packaged in a recycled envelope. A biodegradable, tear away plant label is included which can be used to mark out where your seeds are planted. A recycled brown kraft envelope is included for mailing or gifting purposes. Sow 'n Sow products are designed to promote a connection with nature and enjoy simple pleasures.
