When it comes to pruning coneflowers (Echinacea 'TNECHKIO' KISMET INTENSE ORANGE), it is important to be mindful of the timing. Generally, coneflowers should be pruned when the flowers begin to fade, usually in mid-summer. This will help keep the plant looking neat and healthy. It is best to wait until after the seed heads have just finished blooming and then cut off the top of the stem 1 to 2 inches above a set of healthy leaves. This should be done in the early evening when the plant is not in direct sunlight. The amount of pruning needed should not be excessive - no more than 1-third of the plant should be removed. Doing too much pruning can seriously weaken the plant, leaving it susceptible to disease and pests. When pruning, it is important to use sterilized pruning shears to prevent the spread of disease and pests.
