Planting Instructions:
For best results, sow seeds in early spring or in the fall to allow for natural cold stratification. Coneflower seeds benefit from cold stratification. For spring planting, place seeds in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks before sowing. If planting in fall, no stratification is needed.
Choose a spot with full sun (6-8 hours of sunlight per day). Coneflowers prefer well-drained soil but can tolerate a variety of soil conditions, including clay and sandy soils. Can tolerate partial shade.
Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep. Gently press the seeds into the soil, and cover lightly with a fine layer of soil.
Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds germinate (approximately 10-20 days). Space seeds or seedlings 12-18 inches apart to allow for growth and airflow.
Once established, coneflowers are drought-tolerant but will benefit from occasional watering during dry periods. No need to water if planting in the fall.
Coneflowers are low-maintenance perennials. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowering. Divide plants every 3-4 years to maintain plant health.
Coneflowers can self-seed, providing you with new plants in the following seasons!
Plant may not flower the first year, but will germinate into greenery. The second year will provide multiple blooms.
