Common Questions

Q

Does Echinacea need full sun?

A

The Echinacea plant grows best in full or partial sun. Give the plant at least six hours of sun a day.

Q

Do I need to deadhead my coneflowers?

A

Yes, to keep your purple coneflowers blooming you need to deadhead them as they fade.

Q

Will Echinacea spread?

A

Q

Do I need to divide my plants?

A

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.
