It doesn't like wet feet in winter. On heavy clay, mixing in some compost and coarse sand helps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Water regularly during dry periods during the first season to help the plant establish its roots. After that, \u003cem\u003eEchinacea\u003c\/em\u003e is quite drought-tolerant. For a long bloom, you can cut off spent flowers, but you can also leave them to encourage attractive seed heads and increased biodiversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In spring (March\/April), you can cut back the old stems to just above the ground.
