From our Experience:

Echinacea is a beautiful addition to any garden.  It feeds pollinators during the season and birds all winter. 

Use dried leaves and flowers in an infusion within the first 8 months after harvest.  The roots maintain medicinal value for up to 18 months.  Test your Echinacea's effectiveness with the mouth buzz test - if it buzzes your mouth when you taste it, it’s active!
