Common Questions
Does echinacea purpurea need full sun?
The echinacea purpurea 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 purpurea spread?
Echinacea purpurea 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.
