Leave the last flower heads for the birds and 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 was bred by Bull Plant Genetics for compact, mounding coneflowers that branch from the base and carry plenty of flowers. \u003cem\u003eEchinacea\u003c\/em\u003e is a North American genus of prairie and open-woodland wildflowers, named from the Greek word for hedgehog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Thoughts:\u003c\/strong\u003e One of these makes a whole bed look finished.
