Sochan seed
(Rudbeckia laciniata)
Sochan, also called cut leaf coneflower, is a wonderful native edible plant that makes fresh leafy greens accessible for months. Early in the Spring, then another flush of leaves come up in late Summer and Fall after flowering stalks die back. The tender leaves are great even after frosts. Traditionally sochan leaves are cooked, and we prefer them that way, but small amounts of tender leaves are good in salads. Sochan is a very important food among the Cherokee, and other First Nations. Their blooms attract many pollinators and their roots can be used as an immune stimulant, just like her cousin Echinacea. Easy to grow, low maintenance perennial vegetable. Grows to around 6-8’ tall. Does well in sunny or shaded areas. Sochan is a beautiful plant. Hardy to zone 3. Sochan seed requires 30 days of cold damp stratification.
