Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in spring after the danger of frost has passed. Lightly cover seeds with soil as 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 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, coneflowers are relatively low-maintenance and drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for birds to enjoy in winter. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
