    Hiya chums.
    I sowed some Echinacea seed in the greenhouse around three weeks ago and they’re up. Looking ahead, I’m wondering how best to overwinter them? My inclination is to pot them up in a couple of weeks and keep them in the greenhouse until next spring, only adding (some) heat if penetrating frost is forecast. Any thoughts?

    Cheers...Freddy

    Morning Freddie :)
    If they are tiny plants ...."they are up".....keep them as they are. I usually sow echinacea seeds earlier than this and they are then potted up in September and kept in a cool, unheated gh on the dry side over winter. Some fleece to hand if temps plummet. :)
