Lightly press seeds into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have developed several true leaves, transplant them outdoors after hardening off. 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 relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and bird food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Tomato Mac \u0026amp; Cheese Coneflower seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67872646267016,"sku":"seed - tomato mac \u0026 cheese coneflower-636","price":14.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_de532da5-5512-4efe-9537-f3b08263a666.jpg?v=1793983688","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/50-tomato-mac-cheese-coneflower-seeds-echinacea-perennial-flower","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
