Plant Information

Plant Care

Summer Sky Coneflower is remarkably easy to maintain and drought-tolerant once established. Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. Cut back stems to about 4 inches above ground level in late fall or early spring. Apply a layer of compost around the plant in spring to promote healthy growth.

Divide plants every 3-4 years in spring or fall to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding. These plants are naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, making them an excellent choice for gardens in rural areas.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or early fall, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place the plant at the same depth it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.

For container growing, use a pot with adequate drainage holes and high-quality potting mix. Ensure the container is large enough to accommodate the plants mature size, ideally at least 12 inches deep and wide.
