I have a prairie reconstruction project that contains echinacea pallida e. paradoxa, e. purpurea, e. angustifolia and glade coneflower[i forget the scientific name] within close proximity of each other, what can i expect as far as cross pollinating among them?
Will the seed produced in this field be pure?
any insight would be appreciated.

These cross and this family does attract insects for pollination so the purity may be compromised.

There is a on going research/breeding project on Echinacea at the Chicago Botanical gardens. I would contact the or Dr Ault for more specific info about cross pollination and isolation distances (i dont have that kind of specific info on ornamentals).

Hi there,

I guess there will be any cross pollination.
I did some of those crossings at mine place and the result was true seed.
As far as i know the Echinacea purpurea is self incompatible, and the seeds i harvest was on the Ech. purp. after a cross with pallida and paradoxa.

What are you planning to do with the seeds you harvest.
I might be interested for some of it.
In exchange i have seeds of most Echinacea for you.

ps. Excuse me if my language is not correct. coming from Netherlands, Europe
