Planting & Care

Sow Bubble Gum Coneflower 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. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or harden off and plant outdoors after danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, coneflowers are drought tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave some seed heads for winter interest and bird food. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in spring or fall to maintain vigor.
