Planting & Care

Sow Sunseeker Coneflower seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in fall. For indoor sowing, press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Cold stratification for 30 days can improve germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 18-24 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish. Once established, coneflowers are relatively low-maintenance and drought tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or leave seed heads standing for winter interest and bird food.
