Once you have planted your coneflowers in the bed, you don't have to worry about winter care. If you prefer a tidy garden, then cut back the perennials in autumn, the coneflower does not need winter protection.
Only coneflowers in pots need winter protection
Overwintering potted plants
In contrast to bedding plants, container plants cannot tolerate extreme frosts over a long period of time. The roots are not sufficiently protected in the planter and could freeze to death. You should prevent that. Wrap the bucket from all sides, for example with an old blanket or with bubble wrap, including from below. Leaves and brushwood can also protect against severe frost.
The best winter tips for coneflowers:
- possibly cut back
- Bedding plants do not require special winter care
- Protect potted plants from freezing the roots
- fertilize organically in spring
tips and tricks
If you don't want your garden to look so empty in winter, then only cut your coneflowers in the spring.
