Planting & Care

Sow Raspberry Delight Coneflower seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in fall or early spring. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently 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 the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 18-24 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish a deep root system. Once established, coneflowers are relatively low-maintenance and drought tolerant. 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.
