The Prairie Splendor Coneflower is a showstopping perennial. Blooming similarly in time, if not slightly earlier to its relative standard sibling, this pink beauty blooms shorter than other coneflowers, but more dense in fashion. This perennial is a perfect addition to the cut flower garden that will reward its owner with blooms year after year. This flower could make a wonderful bouquet by itself, but will add bright pink color to vases among any other cut flowers. 

This perennial flower is hardy in zones three through eight. Not only is it native, but it is a pollinator’s dream flower. These fragrant blooms attract both butterflies and hummingbirds. It can be planted within the landscape, as well as along borders, fencing, and containers. To add to its list of positive attributes, it is deer resistant, and attracts hummingbirds. 

Prairie Splendor Coneflower Care 

This perennial Prairie Splendor Coneflower can be planted in a variety of different soil conditions. It can tolerate full sun, and partial sun. It requires an average amount of water, but would survive a dry stretch as it is drought tolerant. It only needs to be watered if an extreme dry stretch is occurring, or a typical dry stretch is observed and it is planted in a container. 

This perennial flower doesn’t require pruning. Dead-heading spent blooms will prolong blooming time.

Prairie Splendor Coneflower Spacing

These flowers grow 18 to 22 inches tall. They should be spaced 15 to 18 inches apart, as they grow densely, but upright.
