coneflower

Coneflower (Echinacea 'Matthew Saul' BIG SKY HARVEST MOON) should be watered frequently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Water deeply when the soil is dry to a depth of 3-4 inches, which may mean twice per week in summer and once per week in the fall and winter. Make sure to water thoroughly to keep the roots moist. If the plant shows any signs of wilting, it will need to be watered more frequently.

Coneflower (Echinacea 'Matthew Saul' BIG SKY HARVEST MOON) requires full sunlight for optimal growth. This species should be planted in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. To help promote the plant's blooming, it should be exposed to 8-10 hours of sunlight during the bloom time, which is typically late spring to early summer. This type of coneflower is fairly tolerant of temperatures, but the sunlight will help it to remain strong and retain its vibrant coloring. During the summer months, when temperatures rise, it is important to ensure that the coneflower receives consistent sunlight. If the plant is in an area that gets too much shade, its growth and flowering may be significantly impacted.

Hardiness zone 3–8.

Coneflower (Echinacea 'Matthew Saul' Big Sky Harvest Moon) should be pruned in late fall or winter, when the plant is dormant. Pruning by removing old dead flower heads or foliage can help keep the plant neat and healthy. This particular variety of coneflower may require less pruning, as it naturally has sturdy flowering stems. Pruning should also be done carefully so as not to damage the stems or foliage.
