Care and Watering
Echinacea purpurea, or Purple Coneflower, thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water deeply during establishment; once established, tolerate drought but avoid overwatering. Mulch lightly in spring to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Remove spent blooms to encourage flowering.
Maintenance
Deadhead faded flowers, prune lightly in early spring, and divide every 3–4 years to keep plants vigorous. Use clean tools to prevent disease. Fertilize sparingly with compost; avoid high nitrogen fertilizers which promote foliage over bloom.
Location
Plant in a sunny spot with good air circulation and avoiding heavy clay that stays wet. Space 18–24 inches apart; consider edging with hardy perennials for contrast and a long blooming season.
