Even low-maintenance perennials such as coneflowers grow and flower more beautifully if they are planted at the ideal time. The ideal planting time also depends on whether the plant is to grow in a bed or in a tub.
The coneflower is used in the bed in autumn
Plant in the bed
It is best to plant your coneflowers in the fall when the soil is still warm. Then it grows well and can use all its strength for the coming bloom in spring. If you only plan the new garden year in spring, then plant the coneflower as early as possible, it is hardy.
Plant in the bucket
In spring, the range of perennials in the nurseries is particularly large. Use this time to replant your patio planters, including yellow or red coneflowers.
The best planting time:
- bedding plants: in autumn
- Pot plants: in spring
tips and tricks
Coneflowers planted in the fall often bloom more profusely than those planted in the spring.
