Care
KISMET® Kiwi Coneflower Care
Plant in full sun for best flowering and sturdy stems. Echinacea prefers hot, bright conditions and will underperform in shade or wet soil.
Soil should be well-drained. It tolerates poor or rocky soils but should not be kept constantly wet. Avoid heavy clay or areas prone to standing water.
Water regularly during the first season to establish roots. Once established, KISMET® Kiwi becomes drought-tolerant and very low-maintenance.
For an optional boost, apply a slow release fertilizer in spring to encourage abundant flowering.
Deadhead to extend the bloom season, or leave spent flower heads up in autumn—they provide winter interest and natural seed for songbirds.
