Planting & Care

Sow Fire Red Coneflower seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in fall or early spring. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged until germination, which 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 tolerate dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and bird food. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
