How to plant and care for coneflowers

Plant echinacea in a sunny location with well-drained soil, leaving enough room for each variety to reach its mature size. Water regularly while the plants establish; established coneflowers generally tolerate drier conditions, although they benefit from attention during prolonged dry spells.

Hardiness varies by species and cultivar, so check the plant details for your growing zone. You can leave seed heads standing through fall and winter for garden interest and visiting birds, then cut back the stems in spring.
