Spacing: Space plants 18–24 inches (45–60 cm) apart to ensure proper air circulation and room to grow.

Sun Requirements: Prefers full sun but can tolerate some light shade.

Watering: Keep soil moist until germination. Once established, Echinacea is drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering in dry conditions.

Pruning & Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Cut back the plant in late fall after flowering ends.

Winter Care: Echinacea is winter-hardy in zones 3–9. In colder zones, mulch around the base to protect the roots during winter.

 

Growing Tips:

Echinacea thrives in dry, slightly acidic to neutral soil.

Once plants are established, they require minimal care and are excellent choices for drought-resistant or native plant gardens.

Pruning after the first flush of blooms can encourage further blooming and help maintain a tidy appearance.
