Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in fall or early spring. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or harden off and plant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Coneflowers are low-maintenance once established. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots develop, then reduce watering as plants become drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and bird food. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
