Coneflower 'Flame Thrower'

Flame Thrower likes a position of full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Flame Thrower is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips. Flame Thrower requires a soil ph of 6.0 - 8.0 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Look to ensure a distance 1.95 feet (60.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 25°C / 77°F to ensure good germination.

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

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