Planting & Care

Sow Orange Passion Coneflower seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in spring after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have developed several 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 can tolerate dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and to feed birds.
