Planting & Care

Sow Red Salsa Coneflower seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in fall. Lightly cover seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at 65-70°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

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 drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and bird food.
