Care Guide
Watering
Coneflowers (Echinacea 'The Price is White') should be watered every 4-7 days when the soil is dry to a depth of 1-2 inches. It is important to avoid over-watering and to allow the soil to dry out between watering, as the plant is prone to root rot if the soil remains too moist and/or soggy for prolonged periods of time. When watering, water deeply so the entire root ball is saturated. During hot, dry summer months, water more often. Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.
Light
Coneflower (Echinacea 'The Price is White') requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and blooming. The sunlight should be provided through the warmer parts of the day, ideally between 10am and 6pm. Direct sunlight is important for coneflower's growth, as it facilitates the process of photosynthesis and helps support strong, healthy root systems. Indirect sunlight for the remainder of the day is also beneficial for the plant. Excessive sun exposure can cause the plant to become scorched or stressed, but coneflower can thrive in both full sun and partial shade conditions.
Temperature
Hardiness zone 4–8.
Pruning
Coneflower (Echinacea 'The Price is White') is a hardy and tough perennial that produces gorgeous white flowers. Pruning is important for maintaining healthy and productive plants and should occur in early spring. In general, it is best to cut plants back to 8-12 inches to encourage full, healthy new growth. To specifically prune Echinacea 'The Price is White', we suggest pruning in early to mid-spring when new growth begins to emerge. Start pruning by removing any winter-damaged or dead stems. Cut lightly and evenly to maintain the desired shape of the plant. After the trimming is complete, work some compost into the soil to give the plants some additional nutrition. With proper care and pruning, you can enjoy coneflower blooms each year!
