Water
Water weekly the first summer; drought tolerant after that.
Planting and soil
Plant in spring or early fall, crown at soil level, in soil that drains.
Feeding
None. Lean soil makes a longer-lived plant.
Pruning
Deadhead in summer; leave seed heads from late August. Cut back in spring.
Through the year
Leaves in spring, flowers July–September.
If something's off
Wet winter soil is the main killer. Aster yellows distorts flowers; remove affected plants. Japanese beetles visit.

Why we stock it: A true orange coneflower with stems that hold up.
