Description
The Common coneflower blooms from August to October in a rich golden yellow with a dark brown center, adding sunny warmth to late summer gardens. This hardy perennial flowers tirelessly and is highly prized by bees and butterflies. The cultivar 'Goldsturm' is the most reliable and sturdy for any bed.
Care instructions
Plant in ordinary garden soil in a sunny spot; partial shade is tolerated. Water during extended dry periods, otherwise it is low‑maintenance. Leave seed heads over winter—they look attractive with frost and feed birds—and cut back close to the ground only in spring (March, week 11). Every few years, you can divide the clumps.
