Planting & Care

Tips For Growing Echinacea (Purple Coneflower)

This genus is invaluable for the mid- to late-summer garden, bringing color into our plantings when many spring bloomers have gone green for the season. They are native to the eastern half of the U.S. and are most commonly found growing in prairie habitats.

Echinacea thrive in our gardens when provided with well drained soils, plenty of sunshine and moderate to dry moisture conditions depending on the species and cultivars. Healthy individual coneflowers will grow in the garden for 3 to 5 years. Species and cultivars raised from seed will often reseed themselves to continue their presence in our gardens.

'Rocky Top Hybrid' echinacea, while xeric, appreciates extra moisture provided by some easily accomplished water harvesting techniques. Plant it in a wide, shallow depression and mulch amply or place right up against the north side of a low, wide rock, tilted to shed water on the Echinacea's side.

Fall Care: You can leave the dried seed heads for winter, as they provide food for birds. Echinacea easily reseeds itself. You can cut back seed heads in the fall, where you don't wish the plant to reseed. Spring Care: Cut back the dry stalks to the crowns of the plant in early spring. Pull any unwanted seedlings in spring. They are easy to pull when young.

Gorgeous

"These bring such a beautiful pop of color to the garden bed. I've been planting a lot of purple and blue perennials, and having these strategically placed throughout makes everything look brighter"

— Leslie (5/5)

Is it my soil? Mostly cone, few colorful petals

"For some reason, my plant is full and producing flowers but mostly cones and not very many flower petals. At 7,000 feet, zone 6b. I know our soil is poor - is that it? It is very dry here but this plant is watered with drip irrigation."

— Sutavachristy (4/5)

Grows and blooms well- even in Zone 10

"I'm in Zone 10 (Sunset zone 22) and, even though I've seen plenty of advice that my area is too hot, these grow and bloom extremely well here! The trick is to mulch around the base of the plants, and make sure they get shade after about 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I have them up against a concrete block wall that runs north-south. In the winter the wall radiates heat at night, and in summer it provides afternoon shade. Mine bloom profusely from mid-May through Aug. and bees and butterflies love them! They have no pests to speak of except some slugs and earwigs that hide in the mulch (and are easily controlled)."

— Bev (4/5)

Love them!

"Really pretty color! Planted about 10 months ago in the fall. They made it through a rough winter and a spring/summer that had an unusual amount of rain and hail. A little beat up from all that but I still love them and their color is fab! Zone 5. I look forward to seeing these grow further! One is doing a little better than the other but I think that's because I transplanted. Bees and butterflies love them!"

— Paintypants (5/5)

The bees love this plant

"The bees go insane for these wild berry coneflowers. All summer long, every evening, the bees are doing their thing with the coneflowers. Some of the bees are so blissed out, their legs are all splayed out like a spider. It's hilarious! Pull up a chair and watch. Despite the wild rabbit browsing the plants all winter long, every spring, these come back. Recommend!"

— Anonymous (5/5)

They already bloomed.

"The flowers came alive and well. It was easy to plant and their small but they have already have beautiful flowers. Can't wait to see what next year and the year after bring."

— Sue (5/5)

Lucious color!

"High Country Gardens plants are the best! Colors are deep and rich."
