Planting & Care

Sow Raspberry Beret Coneflower seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be improved with a period of cold stratification. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them to a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Water young plants regularly during their first season to help them establish. Mature coneflowers are relatively drought tolerant but benefit from occasional watering during dry spells. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or leave seed heads in place for winter interest and wildlife.
