Coneflower 'paradoxa'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that paradoxa is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips. paradoxa tends to grow best in a soil ph of between 6.0 and 8.0 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Ensure a distance of 1.95 feet (60.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 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 paradoxa about 56 days before your last frost date.

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