Planting & Care
Sow Tiger Coneflower seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in spring after danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at temperatures around 70°F. Once seedlings have developed several true leaves, transplant them to their permanent location. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for good air circulation.
Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, Tiger Coneflower is relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and to feed birds. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
