Eastern purple coneflower 'Alba'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Alba is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will survive though longer winters with little or no damage.

Look to ensure a distance 1.95 feet (60.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.0 inches (0.01 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 25°C / 77°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Alba about 56 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Alba is a very hardy plant.
