育て方ガイド

💧

水やり

Water your Coneflower once a week, making sure to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Use approximately 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week. Water your Coneflower deeply—enough to moisten the entire root system. For best results, water in the early morning or late evening, so you minimize water loss due to evaporation.

☀️

日当たり

Coneflower (Echinacea 'Mac 'n' Cheese') requires full sun for at least 6-8 hours each day in order to thrive. If it does not get enough sunlight, it will become leggy and eventually die. Ideally, the plant should be placed in a spot where it will receive direct sunlight in the morning and early afternoon, avoiding the stronger afternoon sun. In hotter climates, partial shade is fine during the hottest part of the day.

✂️

剪定

Coneflower (Echinacea 'Mac 'n' Cheese') should be pruned in early to mid-spring, after there is no risk of frost. Pruning should be done to remove any old, dead or diseased stems as well as to manage the overall shape and size of the plant. When cutting, try to use clean, sharp pruning shears to create a neat cut that will heal quickly. Cut stems down to the ground, if desired, to promote new, healthy growth from the base. Light pruning throughout the growing season will keep the coneflower blooming continuously.
