Organic. Period.

I’ve been removing the winter mulch that covered many of my perennial flowers and herbs. The coneflowers are not actually showing any green yet, but it was time to get them open to the sunlight and warmth.

Coneflowers are the source for “Echinacea”. They are a lovely, purple daisy-like flower that is well-loved by butterflies and bees. Divide your clump of coneflowers every couple of years, and they will spread even faster. You can divide them in the spring, or in the early fall, before dormancy so they can establish a good root system for the winter.

This is a small clump that was a small division done last spring.
It sure doesn’t look like much yet!
