Zusammenfassung:Echinacea (Echinacea ssp.) has been widely used in folk medicine for centuries and has a high market share and medicinal value, because more than 280 different products are sold economically in Europe. Generally, germination rate of Echinacea seeds is very low and poor seedling growth is an ongoing problem compared to other medicinal plants. Different methods were used before sowing that effect seedling quality which have positive effects on yield. In this study, the effects of stratification and moisturizing on the germination of Echinacea seeds were investigated. It was determined that stratification + moisturizing treatment at +4 °C with different day intervals (0, 5, 10, 15 days) had a significant (p
