Water geven

Coneflower should be watered deeply and thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. During the summer, it may be necessary to water the plant every week or 2. In the winter, water the plant about every 2 to 3 weeks. Make sure the soil is not too soggy and always water early in the day so the plant has time to dry off from any water that accumulates on the leaves before nightfall.

Licht

Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea 'Greenline') prefers full sun exposure, receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Coneflower will thrive with more than 8 hours of full sun exposure each day. It's a good idea to plant Echinacea in a spot that receives direct sunlight most of the day. When planting the Echinacea it should be placed in an area that receives early morning sunlight for several hours. This will ensure that the energy it needs to initiate growth at the start of the day is available. During the peak of the summer season, it's a good idea to provide some afternoon shade as this plant can become wilted from too much sun.
