Echinacea Panama Red Rooted Cutting Liner

For best results with Panama Red, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, an EC of 1.0-1.2, and light feed (100-150 ppm). Bulk at 65-68 degrees for 6 weeks after transplanting. Grow cold at temperatures between 48-55 degrees for 5 weeks after bulking. Colder temperatures will take longer. Use a spray of B-9 at 2 ppm if needed. You may see aphids, japanese beetles, or eriophyid mites. Stem rot and powdery mildew can affect this plant. 

Large red flowers bloom from early summer to fall.

This plant doesn't require pinching.

Space containers for adequate airflow around the base and foliage of each plant and to allow sunlight to penetrate to the soil level.

PGRs aren't necessary, however use B-9 at 2 ppm if needed.

You may see aphids, japanese beetles, or eriophyid mites.

Panama Red can be susceptible to stem rot and powdery mildew. Prevent fungal disease by following these guidelines:

1. Water at the base of each plant in the morning and allow soil to dry between waterings.

2. Provide airflow in the greenhouse and do not crowd plants. 

3. Allow sunlight to penetrate to the soil level. 

We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the pot.
