Eastern purple coneflower 'The King'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that The King is thought of as very hardy, so this plant will tend to go dormant over the long winter months.

Aim to sow 0.0 inches (0.01 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 1.95 feet (60.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 25°C / 77°F to ensure good germination.

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

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