Growing echinacea is slow going at first, but the Echinacea purpurea plant is vigorous and low-maintenance once established. It typically grows 2–4 feet tall and begins flowering in its second year, attracting a wide range of pollinators.

Leaves and flowers can be harvested throughout the growing season. Harvest the roots in fall or early spring of the second or third growing season, as this is when the plant’s active compounds are most concentrated. Carefully dig up the roots, clean them, and dry for storage or use fresh for tinctures, teas, or salves.
