How should I plant Echinacea Sombrero Granada Gold?
Choose a full-sun location with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, positioning the plant so the crown sits level with the soil surface. Backfill gently, firm the soil, and water thoroughly. Echinacea prefers drier conditions once established, so avoid planting in areas prone to standing water. Adding mulch around the base helps retain moisture during establishment and protects the roots during winter.

How often should I water Echinacea Sombrero Granada Gold?
Water newly planted Echinacea about once a week during the first growing season, ensuring the soil stays slightly moist but not saturated. Once established, Sombrero Granada Gold is drought tolerant and needs little supplemental watering except during extended dry spells. Allow the soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Over time, this variety develops a deep root system that allows it to thrive even in hot, dry summers—making it perfect for low-maintenance gardens.

How do I fertilize Granada Gold Echinacea?
Fertilize once in early spring using a balanced slow-release fertilizer or a topdressing of compost. Echinacea doesn’t need heavy feeding—too much nitrogen can actually reduce blooms. Regularly replenishing the soil with organic matter each spring helps maintain steady growth and promotes abundant flowering. For best results, avoid over-fertilizing and focus on providing good sunlight and drainage.
How and when should I prune or deadhead Sombrero Granada Gold?
Deadhead spent blooms throughout the season to encourage continuous flowering. This helps keep your plant tidy and promotes fresh blooms into fall. In late fall or early spring, cut the stems back to about 3 inches above the soil line. Alternatively, leave the seed heads standing through winter to provide visual interest and food for birds.
