FAQs

<h2>Double Scoop™ Watermelon Deluxe Coneflower FAQs</h2>

<h3>1. How much sun does Double Scoop™ Watermelon Coneflower need?</h3>
<p>This coneflower thrives in <strong>full sun</strong>, meaning at least <strong>6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day</strong>. While it can tolerate partial sun, the blooms will be less vibrant, and the plant may grow leggy.</p>

<h3>2. Does this coneflower attract pollinators?</h3>
<p>Yes! The Double Scoop™ Watermelon Deluxe Coneflower is a <strong>magnet for bees and butterflies</strong>, making it a great choice for pollinator-friendly gardens. However, because it has double flowers, it's not as attractive to birds looking for seeds in the fall.</p>

<h3>3. How often should I water this plant?</h3>
<p>Once established, this coneflower is <strong>quite drought-tolerant</strong>. Water deeply once a week during dry spells. Avoid overwatering, as coneflowers prefer well-draining soil.</p>

<h3>4. Can I grow this coneflower in containers?</h3>
<p>Yes! This plant grows well in large containers, making it a great choice for patios or balconies. Just be sure to use a <strong>well-draining potting mix</strong> and water when the top inch of soil feels dry.</p>

<h3>5. Do I need to deadhead or prune this plant?</h3>
<p>Deadheading (removing spent blooms) will encourage more flowers throughout the season. In late fall or early spring, cut back the stems to about 4–6 inches to promote healthy new growth.</p>
