Thinking ahead to fall planting

Posted at 1:38 pm by Jessi Loerch

Right now, Echinacea are blooming in my garden. They're gorgeous, last forever and require hardly any care from me. Pretty much, I think they're a perfect plant. Also, the name is fun to say.

I have one variety in my garden and am thinking of adding another. This variety adds to Echinacea's charm by having a fragrance. I'm hoping I can find a living example of it to see if I like it as much in real life. If you have this variety, or have seen it, I'd love to hear what you think. Leave me a comment here or e-mail me.

Also, are you thinking of fall planting? What are you hoping to add to your garden?
