#ProPlantTips for Care:
Coneflowers thrive best when planted in well-drained soil in either full sun or partial shade. These herbaceous perennials have a low moisture requirement, meaning it is quite drought tolerant as well, but until they are established, provide regular moisture during their first year and during extreme drought and heat to keep the blooms returning happily!
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 every 3-4 years to prevent them from becoming overcrowded.
- Bloom Best & Strongest Stems In Full Sun
- Any Well-Drained Soil Type
- Moderate Moisture Needs - Drought-Tolerant Once Established
- Deadhead Often For More Blooms & Prune Early Spring
- Heat & Cold Hardy - Deer, Rabbit & Pest-Resistant
