Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10–21 days at temperatures around 65–70°F. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to individual pots or into the garden after hardening off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish. Once established, coneflowers are relatively drought tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or leave some seed heads for birds. Divide clumps every 3–4 years in spring or fall to maintain vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Sweet Sandia Coneflower Daisy seeds (Echinacea purpurea).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776178880822,"sku":"FOLIA-342","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7292255830_k9q1.jpg?v=1792468224","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-sweet-sandia-coneflower-seeds-echinacea-purpurea-pink-red-blooms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
