If i have echinacea pallida, simulata, purpurea, paradoxa, and angustifolia in the same planting can they cross pollinate and the genes get mixed up?
What are the issues that I should be aware of with the seed produced in this scenario? |

I guess you'll find out who's dominant....
You'll end up with a varied assortment (over the short term), then probably a single type in the long run...though what that will be, I can't tell you. However, you're unlikely to have anything left pure but pallida (because of the earlier blooming time(at least from my experience)). |

| Well, don't worry about the purpurea and paradoxa crossing... |
