Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Coneflowers can tolerate poor or dry soil once established.
- Planting:Sow seeds directly into the garden in early spring or early fall, or plant nursery-grown seedlings. Space plants about 18 to 24 inches apart.
- Care:Water newly planted coneflowers regularly until established. Once mature, they are relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and prevent self-seeding if desired. Divide overcrowded clumps every few years to rejuvenate plants.
