Echinacea–when Do They Come Up In The Spring. Mine Not Up Yet.

Question

in northern va, just outside dc

Answer 1

They should have come up by now! There are a few things to consider when planting these- They need moisture to germinate, but it needs to be moist and not wet. They need a cool stratification period, as well. I would plant them outside in autumn to let nature do that for you.
