Coneflower 'Big Sky Sunset'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Big Sky Sunset is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. A soil ph of between 6.0 and 8.0 is ideal for Big Sky Sunset as it does best in weakly acidic soil - 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 0.0 inches (0.01 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 25°C / 77°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Big Sky Sunset about 56 days before your last frost date.

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