Planting & Care

Sow coneflower seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in fall or early spring. Press seeds lightly 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. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or harden them off for garden planting after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, coneflowers are quite drought tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or leave seed heads for winter interest and to feed birds.
