Coneflowers cope with clay as long as water doesn't sit around the crown over winter. Good drainage is the biggest factor in bringing hybrid coneflowers back each spring. Water regularly through the first summer, then only during long dry spells. Skip the rich compost and heavy feeding, which give you soft, floppy growth. Deadhead spent flowers to keep new buds coming. Leave the last flower heads for winter interest and cut the stems back in early spring. It's happiest left in place, so divide only if the clump gets crowded, and do it in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e The SunMagic® Vintage series comes from Bull Plant Genetics, a German breeding company that aimed for strong branching from the base and flowers on every branch.
