Planting & Care

Sow Butterfly Kisses Coneflower seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly 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 but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have developed several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden after hardening off.

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 relatively drought tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or leave some seed heads for winter interest and to feed birds. Apply a light layer of mulch in colder zones to protect the crown during winter.
