Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or harden them off for the garden.
Plant Cutleaf Coneflower in a sunny to partially shaded spot with moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Mature plants are relatively low-maintenance; divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor. Tall stems may benefit from staking in windy or rich-soil locations.
