Coneflowers dislike sitting in wet soil over winter, so improve heavy clay or plant on a slight rise. Water regularly the first season, then only during long dry spells. Deadhead through summer to keep new buds coming. Leave the last flower heads for winter interest, then cut the stems back in early spring. Divide in spring if the clump becomes crowded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e The SunMagic® Vintage series comes from Bull Plant Genetics, which bred it for a compact, mounding habit, strong branching and plenty of flowers. Its coneflower ancestors are North American prairie wildflowers, and the genus name comes from the Greek \u003cem\u003eechinos\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning hedgehog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Thoughts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant it with purples and blues and stand back.
