Sow the Seeds

Sow two coneflower seeds in each pot, covering them with only a thin sprinkling of soil, and allow the pots to drain.

Cover the Pots

Cover the pots with clear plastic to retain moisture and keep the pots in a warm room to germinate.

Remove the Bag

Remove the bag once the seeds sprout and provide the seedlings with full sunlight. Water the plants when the soil surface dries.

Transplant the Seedlings

Move the coneflowers outside once they produce their second set of true leaves and after average nighttime temperatures are above 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Transplant them to a full-sun, well-drained perennial bed.

Water the Coneflowers

Provide coneflowers with approximately 1 inch of water a week during the growing season. Apply up to 1 inch of compost around each plant in spring to replenish the nutrients i
