Planting & Care

Sow Cranberry Coneflower seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; 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 a few true leaves, transplant them outdoors 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 low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and to feed birds.
