Frangrant Angel Coneflower makes a majestic garden presence with its profuse flowers on tall 4′ stems. Our local bees, butterflies, and other pollinators flock to Fragrant Angel Coneflower, and gardeners love its low-maintenance, long-blooming habit, which brings flowers all summer until frost. Hardy sun perennial. The Missouri Botanical Garden notes: Excellent, long-blooming flower for massing in the border, meadow, native plant garden, naturalized area, wildflower garden or part shade area of woodland garden. Growing instructions: Plant in full sun, at least 6 hours of sun a day, in well-draining soil. Add organic matter to the soil when planting. For best flowering, keep well-watered, especially when plants are setting buds and blooming. Let plants dry out between waterings. An occasional squirt of liquid fertilizer will improve flowering. Deadheading spent blossoms will encourage more flowers.
