The disk corolla of E. sanguinea is characteristically blood red in color, as are the seeds. Plant does fine in standard garden conditions, and prefers a sunny exposure with moist soil. Sow in spring—stratification not necessary. Space plants 1 to 2 feet apart. Flowers to 2 feet tall.

Hi Ericka, this is a specialty rare species. Although echinacea is generally recognized as safe, it is probably best to stick to the most tested species (e.g. angustifolia, purpurea) for tea use. r
