coneflower

Coneflower (Echinacea 'Glowing Dream') should be watered deeply and thoroughly. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist, not soggy or waterlogged. Water the plant 1-2 times per week during the growing season, aiming for 1 inch of water each time. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months, when the plant is dormant. Make sure to check the soil before each watering, as overwatering can cause root rot and other problems.

Coneflower, also known as Echinacea 'Glowing Dream', needs about 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. This species of plant grows best in full sun in an area where there is not intense heat. To keep it healthy, it needs at least 6 hours of direct sunshine, but if it gets more than 8 hours of direct sunlight it can become stressed and overly dry. It is important to take into account the intensity of the sun and the temperature when deciding how much sunlight to provide the coneflower as too much sunlight can adversely impact its growth and flowering potential.

Hardiness zone 4–9.

Coneflower (Echinacea 'Glowing Dream') should be pruned back by roughly 1-third each year, usually right after flowering has finished in late summer or early fall. This will help the plant to stay tidy, as well as encourage fresh and plentiful blooms the following season. Regular pruning also helps remove any damaged or diseased foliage and will encourage new, healthy growth. Make sure to use sharp bypass pruners and clean them with rubbing alcohol between plants to prevent the spread of disease. When pruning, use gloves and eye protection as some species of plants can have stingers or irritants.
