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 space them in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
White Coneflower thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system; thereafter, it is relatively 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 in spring or fall to maintain vigor.
