Echinacea Propagation via Root Cuttings

[Ann B.]

Has anyone ever tried propagated Echinacea via Root Cuttings similar to the method I used for Stokesia Aster in the www.landspro.com Root Cuttings Section?

I will be giving this a try in the next few days and just wondered if anyone had any experiences with propagating plants using this method.

Let us know and Wish Me Luck!

Please let me know what you find out as every once in a while I get one from seed that is really differe4nt from the rest and this might be a good way to keep those chacteristics.

Maybe Winter is mounting a last ditch charge yelling Bonzai.
