Growing and Maintenance Tips
Coneflowers like it sunny and hot. Though they will tolerate light shade, fewer flowers will be produced and the plants will be weakened. Light, loamy soils are best but coneflowers will grow in any well-drained soil. Heavy soils can lead to winter rot. Leave the seed heads to stand for winter food for finches and other birds. Once established, they are quite drought tolerant.
