Planting & Care

Sow Fiery Meadow Coneflower seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in fall after the first frost. Lightly cover seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden 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 drought tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or leave seed heads for winter interest and bird food. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
