coneflower

Coneflower (Echinacea (Supreme Series) 'Flamingo') is an easy to grow perennial plant that requires moderate watering. They do best when water reaches the base of the plant and avoid wetting the foliage. Water the plant thoroughly about once a week or every 5-7 days in the summer, and reduce this to once every 10-14 days in the spring and fall. During the winter, allow the soil to dry out completely in between waterings.

Coneflower (Echinacea (Supreme Series) 'Flamingo') grows best in full sun and should be given 6 hours of direct sunlight a day to thrive. It flourishes in fertile soil with good drainage and prefers a pH between 6.5-7.5. Plant in an area with partial shade to protect from too much sun which can scorch or brown the plant’s leaves. This variety of coneflower blooms from mid-summer to late fall and requires plenty of sun to reach its full flowering potential.

Hardiness zone 3–8.

The Coneflower (Echinacea (Supreme Series) 'Flamingo') is a long-blooming, colorful plant with a long flowering period. Pruning should be performed regularly but lightly,to keep the plant compact and full. Start pruning for this species after the bloom period ends, before the onset of new growth. This usually occurs in late summer to early autumn. In terms of how much to prune, remove no more than 1-third of the stems at a time, taking care not to damage any buds. As the season progresses, continue pruning as needed to keep the plant tidy. After it finishes flowering, you can prune it more aggressively to shape it as desired. Remember that if you prune too late in the season, you might encourage new growth that won't have time to mature before winter, leading to decreased flowering the following year.
