Coneflower (Echinacea 'CBG Cone 2' PIXIE MEADOWBRITE) should be watered regularly to maintain soil moisture. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep, strong root growth. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 inches of soil begin to feel dry. This should be done about once a week during the summer months, slightly less often during autumn and spring, and much less during the winter. During periods of drought, consider making use of mulch to help preserve moisture near the roots. Additionally, while it's not necessary, it's very beneficial to mist the foliage of Echinacea 'CBG Cone 2' PIXIE MEADOWBRITE in the summer for added humidity and to help the flowers retain their colour.

Coneflower (Echinacea 'CBG Cone 2' PIXIE MEADOWBRITE) plants should be grown in full sun. This means they will need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day in order to thrive. It is best to provide them with the maximum amount of sunlight possible, which means 8 or even more hours of exposure. This plant variety prefers the heat of the day, so it is best to give it direct sunlight from morning until early afternoon. It is also important to note that the plant should not be placed in direct sunlight for long periods during the heat of the summer. This could cause the plant to become scorched.

Hardiness zone 3–9.

Coneflower (Echinacea 'CBG Cone 2' PIXIE MEADOWBRITE) should be pruned once a year, near the end of winter, before new growth begins. Deadheading can be done at any point during the summer. Trim the wilted blooms and cut off gray-green seed heads if desired. For best overall health of the plant, prune in late winter, removing any dead, damaged, or misshapen parts, cutting the stems back to just above a node and thinning the bush. A severe pruning maximizes the plants impact and should be done in the late winter or early spring.
