Cutleaf Coneflower prefers moderately rich, well-drained soils. It can be sown outdoors after the last frost or indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. It is important to sow seeds about 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep and keep the soil slightly moist to encourage germination. This plant can spread by its rhizomes, and it is advisable to divide it every 2-3 years to prevent it from becoming too invasive. Plants should be spaced about 18-24 inches apart to allow the plant to fully develop.
Cutleaf Coneflower is perfect for garden borders, beds or natural meadows. Its bright yellow flowers not only add colour, but also a touch of life by attracting a wide variety of pollinators.
