Eastern purple coneflower 'Coconut Lime'

It is best to deadhead to encourage more flowering. Will perform better in full sun although can tolerate some shade.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Coconut Lime is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Coconut Lime requires a loamy, sandy and clay soil with a ph of 6.0 - 8.0 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

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 Coconut Lime about 56 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Coconut Lime is a half hardy plant.
