What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Pow Wow WildBerry Coneflower is easy to establish from an indoor start or autumn garden sowing.
-
Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors from February to March 1st for first-season blooms. Sow in a quality soilless growing medium and maintain a temperature of 20 to 25°C for the 10 to 15 day germination period. Move sprouted seedlings under grow lights at slightly cooler temperatures before hardening off and transplanting outdoors after spring frost danger passes.
-
Outdoor Direct Sowing: Direct sow seed outdoors from September through October for natural overwintering and robust growth the following spring.
-
Garden Spacing & Care: Plant in a full-sun location with good air circulation in well-drained soil. Space plants 30 to 40 cm apart. Leave spent flower heads intact during autumn to provide a vital food source for American Goldfinches throughout the cooler months.
