Summersong Firefinch Coneflower Care
Care is relatively simple, as the Summersong Firefinch has few needs. Make sure the plant is situated in an area with adequate drainage – overly saturated soil can be very harmful to the plant’s development. These perennials flourish under ample amounts of sunlight, so opt for planting in uncovered areas. Additionally, the plant needs an average amount of water initially, but is drought-resistant once its growth is established.
