Planting & Care

Sow Firefinch Coneflower seeds indoors 6-8 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 soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C).

Once seedlings have developed true leaves, transplant them outdoors after hardening off. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.
