Coneflower

🦋 Resilient & Radiant

Coneflower (Echinacea) is a quintessential prairie perennial, prized for its sturdy, daisy-like flowers with distinct, raised central cones. These incredibly reliable plants are renowned for their drought tolerance, long blooming period, and ability to attract a wide array of pollinators, making them a staple for any low-maintenance, wildlife-friendly garden.

• Growing: Thrives in full sun and well-draining, average to rich soil. Once established, they are impressively tough and can handle heat and occasional dry spells with ease.

• Sowing (Important Care): For best results, sow in early spring or autumn. Lightly cover the seeds with fine soil; while they are relatively easy to start, it is critical not to let the seeds dry out during the germination phase. They often benefit from a period of cold-moist stratification to improve germination uniformity.

• Care: Low maintenance. Deadhead spent flowers if desired, but leaving the dried seed heads in autumn provides winter interest and a vital food source for birds.

• Blooming: Offers a bold, long-lasting display from mid-summer through to early autumn.
