Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in spring after danger of frost has passed. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface, as 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 outdoors after hardening off.

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 relatively low-maintenance and drought tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or leave seed heads for winter interest and bird food.
