Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Plant this coneflower in a spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. While it can handle a little light shade, full sun ensures the sturdiest stems and the most prolific yellow blooms throughout the season.
Soil: Ideally, the soil should be well-drained with average fertility. If you are working with heavy clay soil that stays wet, amend it with compost or plant in a raised bed to prevent root rot, as these plants hate having "wet feet" in winter.

Watering Requirements

Water consistently during the first season to help the extensive root system establish, checking the soil moisture weekly. Once established, this plant is quite drought-tolerant, though providing supplemental water during long dry spells will keep the foliage lush and bloom production high.

Pruning Tips

Deadhead spent blooms during the summer and fall to encourage the plant to produce fresh flowers. You can leave the final crop of seed heads standing in late fall to provide food for goldfinches and winter interest, then cut the stems back to the ground in early spring before new growth emerges.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring just as new green leaves begin to poke through the soil. Avoid heavy or high-nitrogen fertilizers later in the season, as this often promotes weak, floppy stems and lush foliage rather than the flowers you want.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

Kismet® Yellow Coneflower Glows All Season Long

Bright and sunny, the Kismet® Yellow Coneflower PP#29,922 (Echinacea x 'TNECHKY') is a dazzling perennial that puts on a cheerful, golden show from early summer into frost. Bred for long-lasting color and abundant blooms, this hybrid Coneflower is part of the Kismet® series, which is known for its compact size, vigorous growth, and extended bloom season. Its large, lemon-yellow, daisy-like blooms with prominent central cones are not only a pollinator magnet but also wonderfully fragrant.

This vibrant bloomer grows in a tidy, upright clump, reaching 12–24 inches tall and wide. The narrow, spear-shaped green leaves create a bushy mound at the base, while the flowers rise above on sturdy stems perfect for cutting and creating inviting bouquets!
