kqcrna said:"Don't let it flower after September"... just want to clarify. I think you folks are talking about new plants and first flowers, right? I let my established coneflowers bloom and set seed thru fall so they begin dormancy.

Oh please clarify this for me! I have 2 plants that overwintered in their pots sunk into the soil. They both have buds now. I will be able to plant them properly in early July.

LEAVING the heads on is my modus opperandi. DO clarify when I should remove them.

I prefer native plants on principle but I just don't like pink.
