How do I plant Echinacea PowWow Wild Berry Coneflower?
Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but only as deep, ensuring the crown of the plant sits level with the soil surface. Backfill with a mix of native soil and compost, then water thoroughly. Add a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weeds. Avoid overly wet soil conditions, as Echinacea prefers moderate dryness once established.

How often should I water my Echinacea PowWow Wild Berry?
Water deeply once a week during the first growing season to help establish strong roots. After that, PowWow® Wild Berry is highly drought tolerant and only needs supplemental watering during prolonged dry periods. Avoid overwatering or consistently damp soil, which can cause root rot. Established plants thrive with neglect, making them ideal for busy gardeners.

When should I fertilize Echinacea PowWow Wild Berry?
Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or compost in early spring before new growth begins. Echinacea thrives in average garden soil and doesn’t require heavy feeding. Too much fertilizer can reduce flowering, so focus on light, annual soil enrichment. This will keep your coneflowers blooming vigorously without excess foliage.
How and when should I prune or deadhead PowWow Wild Berry?
Deadhead faded blooms throughout the summer to encourage more flowering and extend the bloom season. In fall, leave some seed heads to provide winter interest and food for birds. In early spring, cut back the previous season’s stems to a few inches above the ground. This encourages fresh, compact growth and abundant new blooms.
