FARM 20 Green Twister Purple Cone Flowers Garden Flower Seeds Bulk Seeds Coneflowers, known scientifically as Echinacea spp., are popular perennials that bring vibrant colors and a touch of wildflower charm to any garden. They are beloved for their drought tolerance, long blooming period, and attractiveness to pollinators like bees and butterflies. Here's a detailed guide on planting and caring for coneflowers: ### Choosing a Planting Site - **Sunlight:** Coneflowers thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. For best results, choose a location that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. - **Soil:** They are not picky about soil type but perform best in well-drained soil with a neutral pH. Amend heavy clay or sandy soils with compost to improve structure and fertility. ### Planting Coneflowers - **Timing:** Plant coneflowers in the spring or early fall to allow them time to establish before the extremes of summer or winter. - **Spacing:** Space plants about 1 to 3 feet apart, depending on the variety. Check the plant tag for specific spacing recommendations. - **Planting Depth:** Dig a hole as deep and twice as wide as the root ball. Gently remove the plant from its container, loosen the roots, and place it in the hole so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill the hole, gently tamp down the soil, and water thoroughly.
