50 Watermelon Coneflower Seeds - Echinacea Perennial Flower Seeds for Planting

Watermelon Coneflower is a distinctive Echinacea variety prized for its large, fragrant blooms in warm shades of pink, coral, and melon. The gently reflexed petals surround a prominent, cone-shaped center, creating the classic coneflower silhouette that appeals to gardeners and pollinators alike. These perennial flowers add long-lasting color to borders, cottage gardens, meadow plantings, and cut flower arrangements.

Easy to grow from seed, Watermelon Coneflower develops sturdy stems and a clump-forming habit. Once established, plants return year after year, attracting bees and butterflies while providing seed heads that birds enjoy in fall and winter. This listing offers 50 seeds for starting your own perennial coneflower patch.

Planting & Care

Sow Watermelon Coneflower seeds indoors 8 to 10 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; light helps germination. Maintain a warm temperature around 65 to 70°F and provide bright light once seedlings emerge.

Transplant seedlings outdoors after hardening off, spacing them 18 to 24 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish. Once established, coneflowers are relatively drought tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or leave seed heads in place for winter interest and birds.
