Planting & Care

Sow Solar Flare 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 soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden 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 drought tolerant and require minimal care. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and to feed birds.
