coneflower

Coneflower (Echinacea 'Heavenly Dream') should be watered when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil is dry. An indicator that the soil might be too dry is if you begin to see wilting leaves. Aim to water the plant until the moisture saturation has reached the bottom of the pot. The amount of water needed will depend on the size of the pot, but a general rule of thumb is to provide a thorough soaking until the water drains out of the bottom of the pot.

Coneflower (Echinacea 'Heavenly Dream') require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal blooming. This species of coneflower is considered a full sun flower, meaning they can tolerate the hottest, brightest hours of daylight and will still benefit from additional light throughout the day. Ideally, these plants should be positioned where they receive full morning sun, while avoiding harsh afternoon rays. The bright sun will bring out the vivid colors of the flower petals, as well as help the plant to reach its fullest potential blooming and growing potential.

Hardiness zone 3–8.

Put more focus on when to prune Coneflower (Echinacea 'Heavenly Dream'). This plant should be lightly pruned in late winter or early spring once the last frosts have finished. After 3-4 years of growth, cut them back to within a few inches of the ground. This ensures new growth and vibrant blooms in spring. Remove any dead or weak stems in the growing season, and also prune any early blooms that have faded to encourage later blooms. The Echinacea 'Heavenly Dream' is a tender plant and won't tolerate heavy pruning, so pruning should be kept to a minimum.
