#ProPlantTips for Care:
To keep your Magnus Superior Coneflower cheerful and lively, provide it with a sun-soaked area to grow. It does best with well-drained soil and medium moisture. This delightful herbaceous perennial is winter-hardy, drought-tolerant, and easy to grow! Provide regular water during extreme heat and drought, but once established, Coneflowers can be very drought-tolerant.
All plants appreciate a 3-4-inch layer of arborist mulch and Nature Hills Root Booster to keep them stress-free. Coneflowers can rebloom without deadheading, but if spent flowers are removed, it encourages rebloom while improving their general appearance. Divide the clumps when they become overcrowded (about every 4 years).
- Bloom Best In Full Sun
- Any Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture Needs - Drought-Tolerant Once Established
- Deadhead Often & Prune Early Spring
- Heat & Cold Hardy - Deer, Rabbit & Pest-Resistant
Upgrade your garden with the bold purple and pink blooms of this large and in-charge perennial. If you want color, lushness, and winter interest, the Magnus Superior Coneflower checks all of these boxes and more! Order now at Nature Hills Nursery!
