Echinacea - Coneflower
Echinacea Culture: Coneflowers are at their best in full sun and well-drained soil. Their long taproot stores water, giving
them the ability to withstand periods of drought once they are established, although blooming will suffer if allowed to go too
dry. Allow new plantings to dry slightly before soaking them again. Only fertilize as needed, as Echinacea resent too much
nitrogen (The first number on the fertilizer listing). Too much fertilizer may kill young plants. A half strength application of a
balanced fertilizer in the spring is typically all that is needed, although the newer hybrids seem more tolerant as long as they are actively growing. All Echinacea start blooming early-mid summer and look and re-bloom best if they are deadheaded regularly. The old seed heads may be left for winter, however, as the seed is relished by finches and provide some architectural winter interest.
