Question From: B. Hecht - MICHIGAN
Q: i have a medium size pond in my backyard, located under trees and up against a metal cyclone fence. it receives only about 4 hours of full and 2 hours of partial sun light a day. I recently readyour article on Echinacea or "Cheyenne Spirit". Can these be planted in such an area successfully? I would boarder the back side of the pond with these. Thankyou for any help or suggestions you can give me about perennials you provide for me.
A:
Bob, You have enough sun, but this plant's water needs runs from the dry side (once established) to average. Wet soils next to a pond won't do. Best and Happy Gardening, Nancy.
