Care
Kismet Pink Lemonade Coneflower Care
Plant in full sun for the best flowering and strong stems. This coneflower thrives in hot, sunny conditions and does not perform well in shade.
Soil should be well-drained. It tolerates poor or rocky soils and does best when not kept too wet. Avoid heavy, waterlogged areas.
Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, it's drought-tolerant and rarely needs supplemental water.
Fertilizer is optional but may boost blooms in poorer soils. If desired, apply a slow-release fertilizer in spring. Our slow release fertilizer is a great option.
Deadhead faded blooms to encourage continued flowering. In fall, you can leave seed heads standing for winter interest and bird food, or trim for a tidier look.
