    A lower number means hardier. A zone 3 plant also grows in zone 5, never the other way around.

    Very cold winter. A good choice for Quebec's northern regions (approx. -35 to -40 °C average minimum temperature).

    For example: Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Upper Mauricie, Bas-Saint-Laurent, Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean

Planting and care

Plant purple coneflower in well-drained soil, in full sun, spacing plants 45 cm apart. Planting is done in spring or fall. Set the root ball with the crown at soil level, without overloading with rich growing mix, which would favour foliage at the expense of flowering.

Water regularly for the first few weeks after planting to make sure it roots, then cut back: once settled, coneflower tolerates drought well. Cut the stems back to the ground in late fall or early spring. Divide the clumps every 3 to 4 years to rejuvenate the plants and limit the decline in flowering.
