Used to have 2 Echinacea in 2 different years. Both died over winter, reason unclear. This time around, planting in a container.
Comes November, the plant is looking how it should look for this time of year. Noticed the old stems that are cut have hollow stems. Guessing that may be the reason for them not making through our rainy winter. Water has gone in the stems and rotted the roots? Just like the Dahlias??

Trying something different this year by placing it under the patio so it stays away from pouring rain. Looks like there are 5 new plants for next Spring - if they can make the winter!
