My Echinacea isn't looking very healthy. I watered it last night as it looked thirsty but today after being watered still looking sorry for itself. Any suggestions?

    Not enough room in that pot, I'm afraid.

    If I repot would it be ok?

    It certainly couldn't do any harm !  :)

    That’s a good red, Ryan, which one is it?

    It would really take off if you could plant it out in the garden.

    I might try and find somewhere for it as repotting it hasn't really made it better. The leaves seem really black

    I see from the photo it’s standing in water, these are prairie plants, they thrive in hot dry conditions so if you put it in the garden it will hopefully drain a bit more.

    Great thanks. How long do they flower for?
