Coneflowers are one of the highlights of the summer garden. With their cheerful, daisy-like blooms, ability to attract bees and butterflies, and wonderfully resilient nature, it's easy to see why they're such popular perennials. I love growing them in my own garden because they're so reliable – once they start flowering, they seem to bring the whole border to life and quickly become a magnet for pollinators.
Whether you're growing some of the best coneflower varieties for vibrant color or you're still learning how to grow coneflowers successfully, a few simple jobs now can make a noticeable difference later in the season.
