How to care for Echinacea purpurea Rubinstern:
Lift and divide congested colonies in autumn or spring. In autumn cut back all dead flower stems to the ground. Coneflowers benefit from a spring or autumn mulch with well-rotted compost.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
