Echinacea Prairie Splendor Compact Rose is a shorter coneflower with bright rose-pink flowers and a warm cone center. Compact Rose is a strong bench item because the color is easy for customers to notice right away. This variety is also early flowering and well-branched, giving growers a full-looking plant with great retail appeal.
Prairie Splendor Compact Rose Selling Tips
Compact Rose brings strong color without getting too tall, which makes it a good fit for containers, perennial benches, borders, and smaller garden spaces. This is a good variety to recommend when customers want a perennial that looks finished at purchase and still has lasting garden value.
General Growing Tips For Your Seedling Tray
Grow in full sun in a well-draining soil and maintain a soil pH of 5.8 to 6.5. Use a moderate feeding program of a balanced fertilizer around 100 to 150 ppm nitrogen. Avoid pushing plants too hard, since excess fertilizer can lead to softer growth and less sturdy stems.
Flowering
The Prairie Splendor series is a fantastic first-year flowering perennial that produces large, vibrant blooms from mid-spring all the way through the summer. These plants are obligate long-day responders, meaning you'll need to provide at least 14 hours of light to effectively force them to flower on schedule.
Pinching
Pinching is usually not needed. Deadheading spent flowers can help keep plants looking fresh for retail and may encourage continued blooming.
Spacing
For landscape use, space plants around 8 to 10 inches apart. This gives them room to fill out and helps maintain airflow around the foliage.
Pests
Monitor for aphids, thrips, spider mites, leaf miners, whiteflies, and Japanese beetles.
Disease
Disease issues are more likely when plants are crowded, overwatered, or grown with poor airflow. Watch for powdery mildew, botrytis, fungal leaf spots, crown rot, and root rot.
Planting Prairie Splendor Compact Rose Liners
It is recommended to plant 1-2 plugs per quart container or two to three plugs per gallon container.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
