Exposure
Compact yet showy describes this wonderful coneflower which reaches only 16-inches in bloom. While compact, when it blooms, from June to October, it is quite amazing… with masses of gingery salmon-orange flowers. A real treasure, Prima™ Ginger is something different, a true delight, an excellent addition to the front of the perennial border, as an edging, or for the container garden. Suitable companions are endless.

Care
Watering:
Prima™ Ginger Coneflower is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from occasional watering, to maintain soil in a moist but not wet condition, during the summer months.
Fertilizing:
Prima™ Ginger Coneflower is a moderate feeder, benefiting from a couple of annual applications of slow release fertilizer. A spring application of a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet, and during early fall, an application of a 2-1-2 ratio (such as a 10-5-10) can be applied to encourage root development and cold hardiness.
Pruning:
Prima™ Ginger Coneflower should be enjoyed all winter long, then, during early April before it begins to grow again, it should be pruned or mowed back to ground level.
