General Care

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light daily to support abundant blooms and robust growth.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil; enhancing heavier conditions with organic matter encourages healthy roots.
• Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once mature, this coneflower tolerates short dry spells but appreciates consistent moisture in extended heat.
• Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps retain moisture and moderate soil temperatures; keep mulch slightly away from the stems for good airflow.
• Pruning: Remove spent flower heads to prolong blooming and maintain a fresh, tidy appearance. Cut back old foliage in late fall or early spring for a refreshing start.

Pow Wow Wild Berry Coneflower delivers a gorgeous, refreshing presence in Michigan landscapes, offering top-tier color and effortless elegance all season long.
