How to grow Coneflower 'Coral Reef'

  • Full Sun

  • Low

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Coral Reef is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. A soil ph of between 6.0 and 8.0 is ideal for Coral Reef as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Coral Reef from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.95 feet (60.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.2 inches (0.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 25°C / 77°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Coral Reef about 56 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Coral Reef

As Coral Reef is half hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
