The yellow sun hat blooms from July to October
When does the sun hat bloom?
The red coneflower (Echinacea) flowers in the period from July to September, the yellow coneflower (Rudbeckia) even to October. In contrast, the genus Echinacea prairie sun hat has a fairly short flowering period from July to August.
Care during flowering
During flowering the coneflower may be watered regularly unless it is raining. Cutting off withered flowers also promotes the formation of new flowers. Mostly, shrubs planted in autumn bloom more lush than plants that are planted in the spring.
Sun hat as a cut plant
Sun hat is quite suitable as a cut flower. Above all, the high sun hat (Rudbeckia nitida) stands out here with a particularly long shelf life of several weeks. The ugly hanging tongues of Echinacea have been bred some varieties now.
