Echinacea DARK SHADOWS™ 'Wicked'

SO SAD

UNFORTUNATELY, MY ECHINACHEA ARRIVED HALF DEAD, WITH THE BLOOMS SNAPPING OFF AND BLACK SPOTS ON MOST OF THE LEAVES.I CLEANED IT UP AS BEST I COULD AN LEFT IT OUT FOR 2 DAYS THEN WENT TO PLANT IT. WHEN I EMPTIED THE POT, I FOUND THE ROOTS IN A TINY PLUG IN VERY LOOSE POTTING SOIL THAT WAS FALLING EVERYWHERE. I AM TRYING VERY HARD TO SAVE IT, BUT WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BLISTERING HEAT WAVE AND IF I DON'T WATER IT DAILY IT IMMEDIATELY SAGS. I AM HOPING IT WILL LIVE.
