Common Questions
Does echinacea need full sun?
The echinacea plant grows best in full or partial sun. Give the plant at least six hours of sun a day.
Do I need to deadhead my coneflowers?
Yes, to keep your purple coneflowers blooming you need to deadhead them as they fade.
Will echinacea spread?
Echinacea spreads because it is naturally self-seeding, but only if you do not deadhead the blooms. If you don't want it to spread too much, you will need to weed out the volunteer seedlings.
Do I need to divide my plants?
Coneflowers all become dense, and root bound over time causing blooms to be sparse. Dig up, divide and replant every 3 – 4 years to keep your plants thriving.
