Lightly cover seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination can take 10-21 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). For best results, cold stratify seeds for 30 days before sowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTransplant seedlings after the danger of frost has passed. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, Purple Coneflower is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant.
