Planting & Care

Sow Yellow Coneflower seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in fall. Press seeds into the soil surface and lightly cover, as they need light to germinate. Keep soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-21 days at 65-70°F. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to their permanent location after hardening off.

Yellow Coneflower is low-maintenance once established. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots develop, then reduce watering as plants become drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for birds. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
