Poda

Pruning a Coneflower (Echinacea 'Balsomtresgo' SOMBRERO TRES AMIGOS) should occur after flowering (around summer to fall). Cut back the dead flowerheads to just above the first set of healthy leaves to encourage new buds to form. If you want a bushier appearance, pinch out the centers of the plant when shoots reach around 8 inches in height. This will cause new stems to form and create a fuller shrub. Maintaining light pruning is important to maximize blooms.
