50 Pink Orange Coneflower Seeds - Echinacea Perennial Flower

Pink Orange Coneflower (Echinacea) is a striking perennial known for its vibrant pink-orange blooms that attract pollinators and add a splash of color to any garden. These easy-to-grow flowers are perfect for borders, wildflower gardens, and cut flower arrangements. With their daisy-like appearance and prominent cones, coneflowers are a favorite among gardeners for their long bloom season and resilience.

Echinacea is a hardy perennial that returns year after year, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. The plants are drought-tolerant once established and require minimal maintenance, making them an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners. Their nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to butterflies and bees, while the seed heads provide food for birds in the fall and winter.

Planting & Care

Sow coneflower seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in fall or early spring. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Space plants 18-24 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, coneflowers are drought-tolerant and require little supplemental watering. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and bird food. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor.
