@blueacregarden: Bees and other pollinators love coneflower (native plant for much of the USA). Provide extra food for them this summer by deadheading your coneflowers this season! This is the right way to do it to encourage repeat blooms for the rest of the summer. Leave your old dried seedheads along the base of the plant to help reseed it for next year. If rabbits are eating your young coneflower plants, try covering them with metal cloches or trash cans to keep them away until your plants get larger. Remember to stop deadheading in early/mid September so the flowers on your plant can mature into seeds naturally and provide a food source for birds and other wildlife over the winter season. #coneflower #deadheading #gardening101 #growyourownflowers #gardentips

There’s absolutely no need to deadhead cone flowers. I have continuous blooms through the fall without deadhead, and then the birds can benefit from all of the seeds

What?!?!? If you love gold finches and other gorgeous birds you are taking away their food. My small field of coneflowers blooms for months without deadheading. Absolutely unnecessary 👎

I’m a landscaper and lowkey this is one of those things that really irks me about the job. Obviously the pollen feeds native insects but the seeds feed native birds as well. Do this for non natives but leave the flowers on your natives.

Becky is always pregnant. She’s a pro in fertility and pollination.

Would you still prune like this if your goal is to increase the size of your echinacea patch?

Ciao grazie per i tuoi consigli, volevo sapere se i semi una volta seccato il fiore li potevo mettere subito interrati. O bisogna aspettare la primavera? Grazie

People are getting so feisty. 😂 I deadhead mine all summer and then in September I leave them alone so the birds can have the seeds over the winter.
